Where can you find out who owns a website / domain?
In general, you will find information on who owns the domain in the imprint of each website. This information such as the email address, address and name of the operator are legally binding, but if you cannot find them, you can make a so-called "who is" query.
Find out information about .de domains
- For websites that end in .de, you will find all the information you need on the denic.de website.
- To do this, enter the name of the website in the search field at the top right. If the URL is "chip.de", just enter "chip" and start the query by clicking on the arrow.
- You will now receive information about the domain owner as well as addresses, email addresses and telephone numbers for contact persons.
Who owns a foreign website?
- Via the whois.net website, websites with all domain endings can be traced back, ie foreign or those with .net or .biz
- Enter the entire URL here in the search field and click "Go".
- Unfortunately, the information on this website is somewhat confusing. Nevertheless, you will also find all the necessary information here.
