+The latest version of the WHOIS protocol was standardized in 2004 by RFC 3912. This protocol allows anyone to
+retrieve key information concerning a domain name, an IP address, or an entity registered with a registry.
+
+ICANN launched a global vote in 2023 to propose replacing the WHOIS protocol with RDAP. 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.
