How to get in contact with a domain owner?

    I really really want to buy one domain, and when I look at WHOIS, I get just a crappylooking email for contact details...I have emailed them a few times and no response.

    Is there any other way I can get in touch with the domain owner?

    Thanks a lot!

    Try to backorder the domain and you may get a response from the owner.! :)

    Does the owner get notified when someone backorders the domain?!

    If they use a fake email address, all responses or inquiries are sent to that email address. In other words, unless you have some other method unknown to me, there would be no way to contact them. Most domain registers will email any inquires to the email listed.

    If the email is invalid, report them to their domain registrar. They will fine them and order them to update their domain with valid contact info. Trust me, it's happened to me before :(

    What I guess is, the owner might have given fake whois information to protect himself, but he might have given his real email id with the domain registrar to receive updates and account info. So, backorder might work in this case.

    Contact registeration company they might help you out.

    Inform them whois information is fake and they will ask him to correct it.

    If this also dont work try to Google this domain sorry i dont have time so i dint did it.Just google it as some people just buy domains and go to some webmaster forums to get it appraised.

    So better do the above things or else wait for some more suggestions from experts.
