    You do realize by 'gay' I mean a man who has sex with other men?

    Anyone Know How Often Whois Info Updates?

    Was just curious to know if the whois database updates on an hourly, daily, weekly or monthly basis?

    Does anyone know?

    Regards,

    WHOIS data is supplied by the registrars directly, there is no centralized shared registry as there is for DNS information.

    In theory, the registrars are supposed to update nightly, but Network Solutions told me some time ago that their own database was sometimes as much as 3-5 days behind. I am pretty sure that Enom, who we use, is near real-time; every time I've checked, it's always been updated on WHOIS as soon as I change info... but my guess is that you'll see a different standard from every registrar.
