What Is the IP Administrator Whois Information?
WHOIS (short for "who is") is a protocol used to query databases to find out ownership information for internet resources like domain names and IP addresses. In simple terms, when you use WHOIS, you are asking a public database, "Who is responsible for this IP address or domain?" The database then returns details like the owner's contact information and registration status.
Originally, WHOIS queries were performed using command-line tools, which are still popular among system administrators today. Now, there are also many user-friendly online tools with web interfaces that can simplify the process. Regardless of the tool, the underlying process is the same: they use the WHOIS protocol, typically over TCP port 43, to send a request to the server holding the registration data. This data is maintained by specific authorities responsible for managing internet resources.
At the top of this management hierarchy is the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), which coordinates the global allocation of IP addresses and domain names. IANA delegates the management of IP address resources to five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs), each responsible for a specific part of the world:
- RIPE NCC (Réseaux IP Européens Network Coordination Centre): Responsible for Europe, the Middle East, and parts of Central Asia.
- APNIC (Asia-Pacific Network Information Centre): Responsible for the Asia-Pacific region.
- ARIN (American Registry for Internet Numbers): Responsible for the United States, Canada, and parts of the Caribbean.
- LACNIC (Latin America and Caribbean Network Information Centre): Responsible for Latin America and parts of the Caribbean.
- AFRINIC (African Network Information Centre): Responsible for Africa. Before AFRINIC was established, IP addresses for this region were distributed by APNIC, ARIN, and RIPE NCC.
What Is the Use of IP Administrator Whois Information?
The main purpose of an IP WHOIS query is to find out who owns a specific IP address and how it has been allocated. In short, it's a way to look up the details of an IP's registration, such as the owner's and administrator's contact information.
Using the IP WHOIS service, you can:
- See the larger block of IP addresses (or IP range) that an IP belongs to, which is managed by a single organization.
- Identify the country and the network operator (ISP) in which the IP address is registered.
- Find the contact details (phone, email, etc.) for the network's administrator, allowing you to get in touch if needed.
This last point is particularly useful for reporting issues like spam, cyberattacks, or online fraud to the responsible network administrator.
What Is the Meaning of IP Administrator Whois Information?
An IP WHOIS query returns information organized into several fields. Below are descriptions of the common fields you might see:

- Description: Detailed information about the network, including the provider's full name, physical address, and country.
- Country: The two-letter country code (e.g., CN for China).
- Administrative Contact (admin-c): A unique code (handle) that links to the administrator's full contact record.
- Technical Contact (tech-c): A unique code (handle) that links to the technical contact's full record.
- Maintainer (mnt-by): A code identifying the organization authorized to make changes to this record.
- Status: The current allocation status of the IP block (e.g., ASSIGNED).
- Last Modified (modified): The timestamp of the last time the record was changed.
- Source: The registry (like APNIC or ARIN) where this data is stored.
