How To Find Out Who Owns What Domains

This rather useful service costs, unfortunately, but might save time if you need to trawl through multiple whois records.

Registrant Search allows anyone to search through this massive whois database using a registrant name, email address, physical address, or phone number to return a list of domains that have that search term in it.

PS: I have no association with it.

It appears that they are are charging for what is already free. Granted they claim to have the largest Whois database, But isn't there free Global whois databases zoned in regions that are free?

Basically, it sounds like they combined all the free whois Global database zones into one database for convenience (Meaning you can search in one location for a small fee rather than having to go to different zones in order to get the information for free).

I suppose this may be a good service for individuals that are pressed for time or simply hate having to access a different regional whois zone to find out about a domain.

It's Amazing what sells these days.

They were whois.sc previously, the best whois service IMO. They have provided such subscription service for a long time.

whois.sc is the best, indeed. And it's free.

I've always just used dnslookup.com - simple and straightforward

http://whois.domaintools.com/

wallarookiller · 10-12-2007, 12:32 AM

chillfire · 10-12-2007, 01:08 AM

the new whois.sc

aira · 10-15-2007, 10:29 AM

I also use http://whois.domaintools.com/.
It shows who's the owner of the domain and some information about the site (established and expiration date, links, relevant sites, etc.)

Swiftie · 10-22-2007, 03:48 AM

allwhois.com is good too

Agreed. I use them all the time.

Thanks peter_d, this is one functionality I have been looking for, for a very long time. This is the first reverse whois I have seen giving you a complete list of domains owned by a specific company or owner. Absolutely fantastic, just a pitty you should pay to get the results

But I guess with noone else thinking of doing the same, what shall we do?

Ghouri · 10-25-2007, 10:39 AM

whois.net is best for me,it will give whole info about domain owner and domain.

Chatmaster · 10-25-2007, 12:28 PM

Ghouri, you do not understand. This is not just a WHOIS service. It is a reverse WHOIS. You can therefore type in a owner's name and it will actually give you a list of all domains owned by that person. I am not aware of any other WHOIS service that offers this.

swiftmed · 10-25-2007, 05:09 PM

yeh there are loads of free whois search sites out there, and i do remember seeing one which is offering the same thing you are doing, but also free. it was a few months ago though.

crumblepie · 11-02-2007, 12:59 AM

Sometimes it's hard to know who owns the domain because privacy is enabled, but I use who.is to check most domains
