finding the domain owner?

[bash]

I hope someone can help?

I have been asked by a friend to create a web page for his business. Now he already had a web page and domain with another web company. This company has now gone bust. I want to contact this company but the website is down, aswell as my friends website being down too.

Is there anyway this company can be contacted?

Is there a central registry where i can obtain a contact name or number or something?

Any advice would be much appreciated :-)

You could try doing a WHOIS lookup on their domain name. Here is the tool to do it:

http://www.allwhois.com/

Usually, there is one or two contact numbers in the whois output.

I use the following little Perl script for that:

use strict;

use Net::Whois;
use Carp;

my $dom = shift @ARGV;

my $w = new Net::Whois::Domain $dom
or die "Can't connect to Whois server\n";

unless ($w->ok) { croak "No match for $dom";}

print "Domain: ", $w->domain, "\n";
print "Name: ", $w->name, "\n";
print "Tag: ", $w->tag, "\n";
print "Address:\n", map { " $_\n" } $w->address;
print "Country: ", $w->country, "\n";
print "Name Servers:\n", map { " $$_[0] ($$_[1])\n" }
@{$w->servers};
my ($c, $t);
if ($c = $w->contacts) {
print "Contacts:\n";
for $t (sort keys %$c) {
print " $t:\n";
print map { "\t$_\n" } @{$$c{$t}};
}
}
print "Record created:", $w->record_created ;
print "\nRecord updated:", $w->record_updated ;

Charles i guess this really does make you a scriptmaster because i would never thought of doing this :D

He comes out with them now and again... I think he's got the next version of windows hidden up his sleeve somewhere! :D

If I knew what to do with them I'd save them... I don't so they're not much use - he's pretty safe from having his scripts copied by most of us LOL
