How to obtain real whois informatoin?

[hitboy]

I was wondering after trying to find the contact information for a certain domain I am unable to do it. Are there any methods out there from which I can find contact information for a domain even if they have whois privacy. i am searching for this because I want to buy the domain thanks!

No you cant,unless they are doing something illegal, in which you can contact their WebHost and get them shutdown.

I don't think there is a regular method to do this but I think that in most of the cases if you send an email to the privacy contact it is forwardeed to the real owner's email address. I have received such forwarded emails in the past on names with privacy.

ok thanks for telling me

Whois info is whois info...some people enter the incorrect info...

You are fully right, and i think that not some but a lot, maybe it's something illegal or they want to be private, don't know.

Even finding a way to skip whois privacy or paying a private eye to find the info for you, that is not a guarantee that such domain's owner may want to sell it.

true but seeing as the domain has never been active for the last 8 years seems to be they want to sell it... lol

Please, don't tell me you want www.IhateYouAll.com

My hubby has been behind that domain rarely updated when the owner has something to say, otherwise displaying nothing since the last 8 years.

It used to have a real whois contact person associated to a hosting service, probably the reason why he/she switched to privacy not long ago... or perhaps due to my hubby bothering because he wants that domain too, LOL

It is against ICANN rules to do this.

[hitboy]

People.. No promotion allowed:p Anyway its 9 years old not 8.
Emm.. Sometimes you can be lucky by sending to admin@domainname.com
A few registrar will auto send to the real email from the root domain name. Goodluck

p/s- Usually what you see on whois.sc is not always accurate as people misguide their info and also when there is a private domain reg there must be a reason even though they don't seem to be active but its their rite to do so.

Well, last time my hubby was trying to buy it it was still 8 years old.

Even though I will share with him your idea so you will see him again chasing it, LOL

Thanks :)

[WebmasterTL]

LOL..haha.. no prob.

[hitboy]

well crap i really want this domain lol how do places like sedo get in contact with domain owners..

[welkin]

Have you already tried to write to the email listed in the whois info?

[Faint]

Try emailing the email listed. It may look like gibberish, but it will forward to the owner's email that the domain registrar has them down for. At least, this is how NameCheap's domain privacy system works. Is there anyway you can post or PM me the domain you want to buy so I can attempt to find out if there is alternative way to contact the person?

Best of luck in buying the domain. :)

[mozzeratti]

Yes, Hitboy...send an e-mail to:
1) The Administrative Contact listed in the WHOIS.
2) admin@TheDomainName .com

It's also possible that for whatever reason, the registrant does not want to sell and will not
entertain ANY offers.

You mentioned SEDO.
If the domain is parked with or for sale on SEDO, then just follow the directions and let SEDO do the rest.

[hitboy]

I thought sedo has a service where they help you acquire a domain name. How do they get in contact with the owners is there a special way they do it?
