What information appears in whois?

What information appears in whois (the public domain record) depends entirely on the top-level domain (TLD) you register and on whether you register it as a private person or as a company. Different registries publish different details.

The table below shows what is published per TLD (last updated 2021-02-16).

Where does the information come from?

The information shown in whois is the information you specified when you registered your domain. If you are an active customer and order from within your account, the details under Account settings → Account holder are used.

The effect of GDPR on whois

Since the GDPR was introduced, most generic top-level domain registries (such as .com, .net, .org, .info) have chosen to hide most of the personal information from whois, but not all of it and not for every TLD. The table above shows what is still published depending on the information you give us.

How to change your whois information

If you would like to change the information shown, first update your address details in your account with us under Account settings → Account holder. Then send an email to registry@loopia.se with your customer number and domain name, and ask us to update the information registered for your domain.

Note for private customers

If you are a private person and have entered something in the Company name field under Account settings → Account holder in Customer Zone, your information will be shown as a company in whois for most of the domain names you order (this does not apply to .SE or .NU).
