WHOIS Protected Information

[bestpokerdeals]

Does anyone know of a site or service that you can find the contact information of sites. When people register and they list their site as protected or will not show who owns the site, we need the information on a few sites. We are willing to pay for a monthly service or finding out in some way how we can get the information.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

You'll need to work it out with the registrar, if they are allowed. The "protected" status of whois info is a premium offered by many registrars, but it is not a standard. The only requirement made by ICANN is that the whois info be accurate and on file. It does not require that the info be made public. Typically, that agreement which the client pays for guarantees that nobody except for the government (with a search warrant) can access that info, precisely to keep it out of the hands of people who are casually looking for it, or who want to use that info for some reason. You may be able to convince the registrar to pass your request on to the domain administrator in order for them to permit its release to you.

What would be the point in paying extra to keep your info private if someone could still obtain it? People do private registrations because they DONT want anyone to know who they are...
