What domain names does this person own?

That is the question

[spikedo55]

Is it possible to find out using a person's name what domain names he has registered?

hi spikedo55,

i think you can query the ripe database for this. each person has a handle there. you can search for this handle and voila.

Sorry, I have no idea what you're talking about. Ripe database? I was thinking of something like whois but could allow me to search by name for domain owners.

sorry spikedo55,

for being that fast. i just realized that ripe is only for europe, parts of asia, africa etc., it's only one of the 4 big regestries.

nevertheless they changed their whois interface and what i described does not work any longer. hmm. a pitty.
