As a result, registries and -registrars will no longer be required to support WHOIS from 2025 (*WHOIS Sunset Date*). - -Domain Watchdog uses the RDAP protocol, which will soon be the new standard for retrieving information concerning domain -names. The data is organized in a SQL database to minimize space by ensuring an entity is not repeated. - -### Connector Provider - -A connector is a way to order a domain name.
