The previous post brought to mind an interesting question — how can you tell who used to own a domain after it is sold? Here are a few ideas:
- The Wayback Machine – you can always go to the Internet Archives, input the domain and see what the historically cached html reveals.
- You can use the premium version (costs money) of the Domain History service at domaintools.com to see historical whois records.
Do you know of a better way? Maybe you can share it?
