as the "contact information page" for every domain name on the internet. Just like how a phone book or directory would list details to contact an individual or business, WHOIS databases serve a similar function for online domain names.
This information can be used for various purposes, such as identifying who owns a domain if you wish to purchase it, resolving technical issues, or for legal or investigative reasons.
