What is Whois?


Whois refers to the information about the registrant of a domain/ an IP address on the Internet, i.e. a website/ a blog. The information includes the registrant’s personal/ corporate name and contact information. For a privacy protection of personal websites/ blogs, there is a 'Whois privacy service', in which companies disclose their information instead of individuals.

What is a domain name?


A domain name is a name to identify the affiliation of the computer or its network connected to the Internet. According to JPRS, it is expressed as “an address on the Internet”.
Computers on a network normally communicate with IP addresses (e.g.: 52.196.58.180), but since it is hard for humans to handle them only with numbers, character strings associated with IP addresses (e.g.: goki.jp, pitali.jp, etc.) are used.
A string matching with a company/ service name is usually used for a domain name.

What is a bookmarklet?


A bookmarklet is a simple program that you can activate from your bookmark.
