Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Domain Names : Any way to do a "reverse" whois look up?

[tim3054]

Does anyone know how, or whether it's possible, to do a "reverse" whois lookup ?

By that I mean entering a full name, and it retrieves all domains associated to that name?

Thanks.

Give an example of what your looking to do.

Sure, www.DomainTools.com has it. But, they'll charge you for it.

Oh, does Domain Tools have that feature too? I thought it's only the domain's history.

The reason I was looking for a way to do this is to look up my full name, to see what domains I have owned in the past. Because of DomainTools!

I recently found out that they keep past registration histories on file somehow and provide the history to users. It just stuck in my head and became a bit paranoid about it now - not knowing if my home address is out there or not.

My current domains use private registration, but I'm certain I haven't used private registrations in the past.

Before I thought after it expires or resold the registration is cleared. Apparently not.

Thank you, I found the feature on domain tool it's kinda hidden. But it's several hundred dollars. :\

I wish the historical domain feature was several hundred dollars too, I think it would have been safer.

Anyone know if I can opt myself out from DomainTools? Or limited view... anything.

It might be worth a shot to ask DomainTools.

But I think the Whois database is consider public domain material.

You know what they say - once it's on the Internet - it's on there forever.

You must have an ex-wife looking for you, lol.

Nobody cares about your address, trust me.

You can try Reverse Whois from http://www.whoisxmlapi.com/reverse-whois.php. It searches by registrant name, email, address, phone number, or any piece of text in a whois record. Much cheaper than domain tools, worked for me for the names I was searching for.
