What a Website Recon lookup covers
Registration data and registrar, who likely hosts a domain, and who to report it to. The registrant behind it may be redacted or unverified.
- RDAPRegistrar and registryThe sponsoring registrar, its IANA ID and the registry behind the record.
- RDAPExpirationRegistry and registrar dates, and how close they are.
- EPPLifecycle stateActive, on hold, in redemption, pending delete or transfer.
- EPPLocksTransfer, update and delete locks, and whether the registrar or registry set them.
- IDNAName formsUnicode and Punycode, with mixed-script and lookalike names flagged.
- ASNHosting and deliveryThe host, CDN, DNS provider, IP addresses and networks.
- HTTPHomepageRedirects, the page title, forms that send passwords elsewhere, cookie consent and trackers.
- RBLThreat signalsBrand impersonation warnings, URLhaus and domain blocklist listings.
- ABUSEWho to report toEach party that can act, in its own role, with a prefilled report to copy for each one and a case summary.
Where the answers come from
- Straight from the registryEach lookup asks the registry’s own RDAP server, found through IANA’s bootstrap list. If a fallback source is used instead, the report says so.
- Clear about its limitsPublished locks don’t reveal a full registry-lock setup, and a passed expiration date doesn’t mean a domain is available. Reports say so where it matters.
- No history on free lookupsResults are kept for a few hours so repeat lookups are fast. History is recorded only for domains a signed-in user chooses to track.
