Looks like the domain was registered on Oct 8th and I can't find "Fly Maids" or similar names on the Delaware Division of Corporations. (Maybe it takes longer for it to show up?) Either way super weird and creepy.

Any C-corp created in Delaware shows up their Entity Search (link below) almost instantly, e.g. within a few minutes of the company's creation. That said, I looked on the Fly Maids webpage and they don't give the name of their corporation at all, they just show "© 2015 Fly Maids. All rights reserved." That means that "Fly Maids" could be a trademark, a fictitious name, owned by a corporation with a different name, or just owned by any random individual who hasn't registered his/her business. Another possibility is that Fly Maids is in fact registered as a corporation or LLC, but in a state other than Delaware. Yet another possibility is that "Fly Maids" is a fictitious name, and those are generally registered at the county in which they operate, and searching through each county's database would be an enormous task. My point is: in any of the above cases it could be nearly impossible to figure out who is actually running this website. And failing to find a result in the Delaware Division of Corporations website really doesn't tell you much of anything. And, as a relevant tangent: If you are really interested in finding out who owns/runs that website you could always sue Fly Maids. GoDaddy explicitly states in their Ts and Cs that they will give up owner information if there is a lawsuit brought against the owner... ----- Delaware Division of Corporations Entity Search link... https://icis.corp.delaware.gov/Ecorp/EntitySearch/NameSearch.aspx https://icis.corp.delaware.gov/Ecorp/EntitySearch/NameSearch...

  As mentioned above, they don't exist or are lying. Likely the former.
