Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2, 2026
Hosting Details exists to do one thing well: give you fast, accurate, raw answers about domains, DNS and security configuration — WHOIS, RDAP, DNS records, SSL certificates, DNSSEC, HTTP security headers, e-mail authentication, all in one place, built from scratch, with a DNS lookup tool underneath that does its own raw protocol work instead of leaning on someone else's library. It's the tool we wanted for ourselves and couldn't find without ads, a login wall, or a tracking script bolted on — so we built it, and we're not shy about that.
That same instinct extends to how we treat you as a visitor. We don't track you, we don't profile you, and we don't build a history of what you look up — not because it's technically difficult to avoid, but because we've deliberately chosen not to build any of that in.
Security by Design
This site enforces a strict Content-Security-Policy, HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), and other hardened security headers on every response. We do not load any third-party analytics, tracking pixels, or advertising scripts — there is nothing on this site set up to profile your visit.
What We Store (and What We Don't)
Domain, IP address and e-mail lookups: When you look up a domain, IP address or e-mail address, the query is sent live to the relevant WHOIS, RDAP, DNS, SSL or DNSSEC service and the result is shown directly to you. Nothing about your DNS, SSL, DNSSEC or IP lookups is written to disk on our end.
DNS Lookup Tool: The DNS Lookup Tool queries nameservers directly, on your instruction — including, if you choose, third-party servers you type in yourself, or a domain's own authoritative nameservers. Sending a query to whichever nameserver you've selected is inherent to how DNS itself works, not a choice we make on your behalf; we don't route it through any intermediary of ours, and we don't log which queries you ran.
RDAP responses: RDAP lookups are temporarily cached on our server, purely to reduce repeated load on domain registries and speed up repeat lookups — not to build a history tied to you. This cache holds only the public RDAP data for a domain (the same information the registry itself would return to anyone), never anything about who requested it. Cached entries are automatically deleted after a maximum of three days, whether or not they were looked up again.
Standard server logs: Like virtually every website, our web server keeps short-lived technical access logs (the kind any hosting provider generates by default) that can include your IP address and the page you requested. We do not mine these logs, we do not use them for analytics or profiling, and we do not correlate them with what you searched for. We keep them only as long as needed for abuse prevention and technical troubleshooting, and delete them on a regular schedule — this is our choice, not a default we've left unexamined.
Cookies
We use cookies only for essential website functionality, such as remembering your preference for light or dark mode. We do not use tracking or advertising cookies.
Your Rights
Under the GDPR, you have the right to: access any personal data we hold about you; have inaccurate data corrected; have your data erased; restrict or object to how it's processed; receive a copy of it in a portable format; and lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority (in the Netherlands, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) if you believe we've handled it wrongly. In practice, since we collect so little tied to any individual, most of these requests will have a short answer — but the right to ask is yours regardless, and we will answer honestly.
