In simple terms, Whois is a database used to query whether a domain name has been registered and the detailed information of the registered domain name (such as domain name owner, domain name registrar, domain name registration date and expiration date, etc.). Through the domain name Whois server query, you can query the contact information of the domain name owner, as well as the registration and expiration time.
According to the rules of the domain name registry, after the domain name expires, it may be in the registrar's automatic renewal stage. Regardless of whether the customer renews, the expiration date will show that the renewal fee has increased by one year.
The expiration date displayed by whois is for reference only. If the domain name is not renewed after the automatic renewal period, the domain name will be deleted. Please log in to your account to check the actual expiration time of the domain name, and renew the domain name in time!
