Whois info Required?

[Mike Allen]

I recently had a good question asked on our site.   Someone asked me if WhoIs info is required, and they said the reason they were asking is this:   They found a .Com domain name that all the contact info is missing EXCEPT for a hotmail e-mail address. Is it not a requirment for the whois to show who the current owner is? The people asking said that they owned the domain they thought but when they went to check, it dosn't look like they do. They are trying to go through their records to find a record of the purchase.   Any info would be helpful.... ;)   Mike Allen, 4CheapDomains.Net [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.4CheapDomains.Net    (812) 275-8425 - Office (815) 364-1278 - Fax ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** DeerSearch.Com   -   Get Targeted Traffic to your site for as little as 1 penny per visit! http://www.DeerSearch.Com          Is currently paying $6.00 per sale to all affiliates! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** PWDOnLine.Com - Looking for someone to design your web-site?
