Unable to get any information from CIRA on their whois.
Just check : WHOIS Domain Name Lookup | CIRA – CIRA. Returns a blank page.
Did they notify that there was a maintenance of some sort or is the Whois database also on vacation mode?
Anyone else experiencing the same thing??
 
Thanks @MapleDots . It is the same for me too, on mobile and desktop.
Hope you are enjoying the break and thanks for chiming in.
 
CIRA picked a really bad time to be offline with the WHOIS, as not only was it more difficult to get TBR data, but I also hate using alternate registrars and I somehow got incorrect expiry data for some domains I had offers on.
 
It looks like it's finally working for all the browsers I use - Firefox, Edge and Safari were up and running earlier, but now Chrome is finally displaying WHOIS results.
 
Another problem I found with the New WHOIS is that when you find a domain that is not registered, you just get a "Sorry, an error occured (sic)." message instead of the nifty "It's Available" window with a selection of .CA Registrars to choose from.

As noted, it's not even spelled correctly. :geek:
