WHOIS Google.com

When I do a whois of google.com this is returned

What is the story behind that?

A fully qualified domain name ends with a period. If you want the WHOIS record for Google and not all domains that have "google.com" as a prefix, then do your search on "google.com.". Anyone can create a google.com.example.com subdomain of a domain they own.

This has come up a few times before, I think most recently at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6340862 . It seems whois is a bit ambiguous and picks up subdomains for some reason.

You should check out microsoft.com in the whois database. It is also rather silly.

Do you have a link to your results? I get:

http://who.is/whois/google.com

and I see a similar result from GoDaddy's whois service.

I get that when I do a whois in terminal.

It seems as though a lot of major companies have this type of thing

whois yahoo.com whois google.com whois microsoft.com

Either a bunch of teenagers running their DNS or... well I don't know what else it could be.
