: Authoritative database for storing whois data for .com gTLD Since VeriSign is the Registry operator for the .com, .net (and other gTLDs) shouldn't they be keeping a database of all the .com
Since VeriSign is the Registry operator for the .com, .net (and other gTLDs) shouldn't they be keeping a database of all the .com domains that are registered?
If they are not responsible for this, then which authority is?
I would like to do a whois lookup but I would like to query the most authoritative database.

How to find the authoritative Whois service for a TLD:
Enter the domain (or TLD only) at IANA’s Whois service: www.iana.org/whois Look for the URL listed under "remarks: Registration information" (resp. the domain listed under "whois"/"refer")
For .com, it would be Verisign (note: their Whois search requires JavaScript). I don’t know why, but IANA still lists them with the domain verisign-grs.com, but this doesn’t seem to work (at least, right now).
