Finding Contact Information for a Web Site When It Isn't Listed
Sometimes you run across a Web site that doesn't list contact information. If you want to know who owns the domain (www.site.com name) all you have to do is look it up.
To find out who owns the Website:
- Go to Internic Whois
Enter the domain name (without the www - just name.com) into the "Find A Web Address" box.
- Most registrations will have the contact information for the owner of the domain.
- Some registrations will list who the domain is registered through such as GoDaddy, with just the name of the owner and no contact information. If that is the case, you will need to go to that registration company's Web site and look up the information there.
In most cases, look up the domain like you want to register it and it will then be listed as unavailable with a link to see who owns the domain.
Unfortunately, this will not work for people that have sites created under another domain such as Geocities.
