How do I check my domain's status?
You can check domain status through a WHOIS lookup or your registrar's control panel. This tool helps you understand what each status means.
What is the difference between client and server status?
Client status codes are set by your registrar. Server status codes are set by the registry and often indicate more serious restrictions or compliance issues.
