"Was really useful"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Whois?

To me, it was extremely important to look up publicly available information from some website or domain owners when I was helping with reporting hate speech or misinformation, as WHOIS at least gathers some information from the Provider of the Domain or Hosting Environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whois?

I have to agree with some regulators since the beginning of the GDPR that the amount of data that was made public was very in-depth going and in some cases scratching at an Individual's privacy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Helpful for having my site associated with the proper owner so people can find out who runs my site Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Whois?

I don't know. Free would be better for just registering your name to a site, but it is only like 6 bucks or something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
