In order to reserve a domain, a
registrant
must register it with one
of
thousands of ICANN-accredited registrars. The registrar will check if the domain is available and create a WHOIS record with the registrant’s information. It is also possible to register domains through a registrar’s resellers

Starting at WHOIS.IANA.ORG, follow the references to the downstream WHOIS servers
until
the
queried WHOIS data
is obtained. This process is illustrated above for a “thick” registry. If the registry is “thin,” an additional
query to the registrar’s datastore is required to obtain the WHOIS data for the
requested domain name.
