Interpretation tips

  • Public vs private IP: private ranges (like 192.168.x.x) are used inside networks and aren’t reachable directly from the internet.
  • CIDR prefixes: smaller prefixes mean larger networks (e.g., /16 is larger than /24).
  • WHOIS vs RDAP: RDAP is the modern protocol. Some registries redact fields for privacy or policy reasons.
  • Availability checks: DNS results are a clue, but the registrar is the source of truth for registration.

Accuracy note

DNS status is a strong signal but not a guarantee of registration availability. Always confirm at a registrar.
