Knowledge/Use (or lack) of whois has no correlation to "losing your
domain name" unless you mean the opposite, the existence/use of whois is
often instrumental in allowing for domain hijacks/thefts.
> extremely important to managing a domain name registration.
There is no management of domains you can do with whois - it's a 1-way
pull readonly protocol.
I _guess_ you're referring somehow to checking "ownership" details ?
WHOIS is in no way needed for that - the authoritative place to do it is
with your Registrar.
