Find the registrar and hosting abuse contact for any domain

How it works

For an IP address, only the hosting lookup runs. Registrar abuse contacts are what ICANN requires every accredited registrar to publish, so a result here is almost always the right channel for a domain-level complaint. The same RDAP record carries the domain's status codes, which the result lists above the contacts; the domain status codes directory explains what each code means and who set it. The guide to reporting domain abuse to a registrar walks through the full submission and escalation process.

When to report domain abuse

Send an abuse report when a domain is used for phishing, impersonation, malware or fraud against your brand. Registrars can suspend the domain; hosting providers can take down the content served from their network. The guide to reporting hosting abuse covers finding the origin host behind a reverse proxy. Include the evidence you observed, such as screenshots, dates and the offending URL, since abuse desks act on verifiable reports. The provider abuse contacts directory lists the verified channel and requirements for each major provider. If you need detection rather than a one-off lookup, domain monitoring surfaces new lookalike registrations the day they appear.
