Whois server list for all top level domains.

Whois server list

This list is a manual and generated compilation of whois servers.

Sources are:

• [XML] The existing whois-server-list
• [IANA] IANA
• [PSL] Public Suffix List
• [WHOIS_RB] Ruby Whois
• [MD_WHOIS] Marco d'Itri's Whois list
• [PHOIS] php-whois
• [PHP_WHOIS] phpWhois

You can find the latest list online at http://whois-server-list.github.io/whois-server-list/3.0/whois-server-list.xml

We do also provide an online Whois API which uses this list.

IDN

Queries for IDN domain names should be done in the ACE representation.
