database of domain names?

JPaul · Jun 22, 2003

Hi,

Does anyome know a database of domain name owners with the registration records that would be sold on CDROMS?

I have received a message (spam) selling this database on 5 CDROMS. Any experience with that?

Thanks,

JPaul

The problem is, it can get outdated QUICKLY.

Registrars have to make available their entire WHOIS database to the public. However, they are permitted to charge a "fee not to exceed $10,000". I hae never heard of anybody actually purchasing this, but I know ICANN namdates that they make it available.
