I doubt this is possible, but I'll ask anyways. Is there a way to do some kind of reverse lookup to find out all the domains that have ever been registered by a specific person or company?

I think it *could* be possible, once you'll get all (recent and historic) whois databases from all registrars.

Hi Vito;

Not that I know of.

But actually you can try to get some details from

http://www.archive.org/index.php

for the domain name. If it was hosted and contact information was on the web.

Though if the company has had the same nameservers for a few years, then it is a bit easier. Some people have zonefile records going back years. However the historical whois data is more of a problem.

Sorry for the late reply (dang that hit-and-miss email notification :( ).

That's what I figured. Just was kinda hoping there was some new reverse whois where I could plug in a person's name and see all the domains owned by that person. However, I'm sure that type of info could lead to some form of abuse.
