The whois command is not available on SiteGround's servers?

Last update: Feb 06, 2020

The whois server has a limit to the number of queries that can be made each day.

To ensure that the shared servers, which host many accounts, are not overloaded by whois queries, SiteGround’s administrators have disabled the whois command on them.
