Is there any way you guys could help me determine the owner of <a domain>.
I ran a WhoIs search and all it told me was that the Registrar <of this .CA domain> was a Canadian registrar.
Any way to get around this?
Thanks in advance. [edited by: Webwork at 8:51 pm (utc) on Feb 8, 2010]

Hello Daboa. Welcome to WebmasterWorld.
The .CA domain you mentioned, which I removed, was registered no more than 15 days ago so I'm curious. Why do you need the info?
Also, please read this before posting:

CIRA (the .CA registry) protects the privacy individual domain registrants, so only domains owned by companies show information via a whois query.
So, short of obtaining a court order against CIRA or the launch of a registration dispute, you can't find out the name of the registrant. If you merely want to contact the registrant, then you can use the form provided by CIRA here:

Exactly why I asked "Why do you need the info?".
The question is made all the more intriguing by the recency of the registration - suggesting there may be a battle or a race for control of an entity or it's identity.
If there are any elements of the latter then that would suggest a different path to identifying who registered the domain.
Hopefully there's a follow-up, indicating that there's more to this than a drive-by promotional domain drop . . <0>..<0>
