How to Find Owner of A Domain Name

Finding The Owner of a Domain Name

If you're looking to find the owner of a domain name then you need to use something called a Whois search. Using Whois you'll be able to find out the name, mailing address and email address of the person or company who registered almost any domain name. You can use the free tool we provide below to do a Whois search from our website. Simply type in the domain name in the this format; example.com and hit the go button.  The results of your domain name search will appear in a new box below the search tool. 

There is one exception to searching for the owner of domain names and the exception is some domains are registered as private.  A private domain is not actually private, however, the Whois information for these domain names will list a Proxy company name rather than the actual person or company who owns the domain. It's a very cheap and easy process to register a domain name as private and there are many reasons website owners prefer not to share their registar information and keep their personal data safe from spammers and others who abuse personal details. In some cases you can still contact the owner of private domain names via the company who's name is listed in the Whois database. Simply type the domain name in the box below to do a quick search on the owner of any domain name. Use your browsers back button to return after using the free tool.
