When trying to find out who has registered and owns a domain name http://www.whois.net/ is really where you want to go.
A lot of domain registration sites offer this service using it as funnel for new customers who are looking for a specific domain… Not surprising this is why you will see a lot of links, offers and encourages to registering or monitor your domain name after finding the domain name you wanted to know who owns.
Often you have 2 options. If you are not in a hurry you can monitor the domain name an who owns it and buy it if it should someday expire or get cancelled.
option 2 is to offer the owner of the domain a check for the domain. Of course the size if the check is directly related to the success of the website on the domain.. So if a domain name seems to be dormant – nothing is really shown on the site – you should have a fair chance to buy the domain from the owner.
Our recommendations is to use whois.net as it is less commercial – only with a few adds like our site.. Of course here you will find no automated watchdog that can monitor your domain. If you choose a more commercial website be sure to find an honest one. Take your time to check their prices and size of the company.. There are a lot of scams out there.
If you cannot find out who owns the domain name you are looking for because the owner is anonymous you can contact the authority for the top level domain.. For example in Denmark it is dk-hostmaster. They will be able to contact the owner on your behalf with your contact data. But you have no guarantee for a reply back. This is of course if you cannot find our who owns the domain name on the domains website..
