Selected Answer: A What is a Thin WHOIS lookup? A thin WHOIS lookup provides limited technical data from the registry which would include identifying the sponsoring registrar, the status of the domain, along with the creation and expiration dates. The remaining data, that being the contact details, are stored directly at the holding registrar(OpenSRS). Examples of this would be .COM and .NET, which soon will be moving to thick WHOIS as per the articles above at ICANN. What is a Thick WHOIS lookup? A thick WHOIS lookup contains all the technical data with the registry, as such administrative and technical, owner contact details. In addition, the sponsoring registrar and registration status.
