Who Is The Owner – WHOIS With A Fancy Name
Who Is The Owner, a site related to Who Is Hosting This, offers to provide information regarding the owner of any domain name along with all their available contact details. All you need to do is enter the domain name and the security code and the information is delivered to you.
Does It Work?
It does, to an extent. However, the service does not display only the contact name and details, but the entire WHOIS record of a particular domain name. Now, that means you get the details of the web host, the nameservers and the domain name registration and expiry details as well.
The incredible fact (if the site owners haven’t realized) is that the complete WHOIS record can be got from atleast a 100 different and better WHOIS sites like Whois.sc or Who.is etc. Here are a few of my observations
- Contact details are in the WHOIS, but that doesn’t justify showing the complete WHOIS record and claiming them as contact details
Who Is The Owner is a free online tool which enables you to discover who is the owner of any domain by querying more than 350 whois servers in the world.
- You don’t need 350 WHOIS servers to show the complete WHOIS record, one is more than sufficient (for each domain extension, that is)
- A WHOIS service is a WHOIS service even if you name it Who Is The Owner
Naming this a simple WHOIS site would pretty much give the same result as it is giving out right now. If you are an amateur, then this is one site that can continue to amuse you. The rest of you can switch to Whois.sc or Who.is and those are my personal recommendations!
What Whois service do you use? Do drop in your comments! Thanks for reading!
PS: Forgive my bashing, but a site that doesn’t do exactly as it says, fails to earn my respect!

Yay for private registrations! Whenever I try to look up information on domains I just use GoDaddy…Yes, I’m lazy aha
This site seems to be follower of the new who is sites coming up. The site whoishostingthis.com was very helpful to me in finding the host of one spam blogger to file a DMCA complaint. The only good thing about these sites are that, they provide a precise information, unlike who.is which at times give so much information but not precisely which you were looking for.
I think this wont show up the owner if domain privacy is enabled.
@Gregg: I don’t prefer using the WHOIS with registrars because most ask for security codes!!
@Kanak: I actually prefer whois.sc because it is concise and gives useful info! Here however, I just wanted to point out that these guys weren’t exactly disclosing the facts!
Thanks for your comments, guys!
@Nirmal: Of course not! This is just another WHOIS service.. Getting details of private domains are never easy or straightforward!
