How do you perform a "Who Is" search?

[Epsil0n00]

for a long time I have seen people on here query WhoIs informaiton to determine things about domain registrations... how exactly does one go about performing a "WhoIs" search?

Thanks!

Personally, I just type 'whois domain.tld' or 'whois ip.addr'.

It's not my fault you're using inferior software.
