How to find out who owns a domain or IP address?
To find out who owns the domain you are interested in you need to perform a WHO IS query.
I have used the same place for years to find out who owns what and when it is due for renewal.

Online DNS Query Tools

Both of the below tools are great and very handy. They both will show and query all the records you need.
