There are other tools you can use to look up domain names, but many do not support newer top-level domains like . io or . blog. If a domain’s owner signed up for private domain registration, their name and contact info cannot be found with this method.

If the domain is registered privately, you’ll see something like “Private” or the contact info of the company through which the domain is registered.

The person who runs the website may not be the person who owns the domain. The only way to find out for sure would be to contact the site’s owner and ask. If you can’t find links to these pages, try adding sitemap. xml to the end of the domain name (e. g. , wikihow. com/sitemap. xml) in the address bar and pressing ↵ Enter or ⏎ Return. Look through the URLs on that page for an “About” page, or something similar that might contain personal or contact info.

Most social media networks will require that you create an account before searching their user database.

This service requires a paid subscription. Even if you are able to find a somewhat-recent registration record with this method, it doesn’t guarantee that the domain is still owned by the same person.
