Trying to Find Owner of .com Domain

[addz123]

Hi,

I'm trying to get in touch with the owner of a .com domain. It's unlisted/private in the who.is and can't find any history in Google. When I visit the domain it's a blank page.

It's not a super premium domain (bought the uk version for $xxx).

Happy to pay a fee to someone who can help me get a contact address.

Thanks.

Adam

You could see if DomainTools.com has any history of whois changes to the domain, and buy a report to see past owners. It's an outside chance but better than nothing perhaps...

Who.is has a history tab, worth having a look at that.

Have you also tried archive.org? Sometimes an old holding page has contact details.

I have some .com domains with privacy and get contacted by email. The email address listed in the whois redirects to the registrant.

Depends on the registrar - there are various ways to implement privacy...
