searching whois info

HeavyDora · Jan 13, 2005

I am looking for domains that are registered by a specific individual. Is there a (free) site that allows me to search whois info by registrant, for example? I can remember doing that a long while back on Network Solutions, but can't seem to find it anymore.

Thanks.

Well, Network Solutions still allows you to search for domains by NIC handle, but I have no way to find the handles for someone I am looking for. I guess I need a NIC whois lookup.

As another feature, I'd love to see the history of a domain, from registration through the various owners. Maybe even a corresponding link to the wayback machine that would allow you to see a webiste as it was developed, and by those same different past owners, instead of having to go from one site to another site to find that information the long way.

And is it possible to see what domains a person has ever owned? Similar to the search I want to do as above, but with old expired sites as well.

Thanks.

Go to http://openaccess.dialog.com/ip/

and select Domain names. You have to pay for the search. Hope it helps.

Isn't there a tool at whois.sc that does this?

Last time I did that (like 2 - 3 years ago), they have capped the results to 50 entries, which was not even half good. And now only a fraction of registrations stay with NetSol, making it basically useless.
