Contact the registrar. If they cannot get the details of the registrant then they will be the ones most likely to advise you further.
If its been recently paid for the the registrar has bank or credit details in the registrant at the very least.
- stevejalim 16y agoYeah, true. I guess getting the registrar involved feels quite heavy handed, but if it comes to it, I agree they'd be the best place to fire off a query to
- covati 16y agoAll domain owners are required to maintain current and working contact details. Not doing so is grounds for the registrar to cancel their registration. Contact the registrar to inform them that the email address bounces. I think they will probably inquire about the postal address, so I would try mailing a letter as well.
- qjz 16y agoI recommend not being a jerk about it. Endangering their registrations is not going to put you in a good bargaining position. The registrar is happily being paid for these domains, and just because an address bounces for you doesn't mean it bounces for everyone (unless it's an unknown user). In any case, these issues are easily resolved in the registrant's favor, and they're not going to be in a good mood if you spoil their day. If you can't get a reply, pick another name and move on. Also keep in mind that not all domains are used for the World Wide Web. I regularly get inquiries about domains I own because "they aren't being used" when, actually, they are critical to my infrastructure and just don't have any web sites associated with them.
