That's the question I have. Hopefully, there will be an easy answer. :)


Thanks.

Hi

It's normally pretty obvious from the WHOIS output, e.g. from

http://www.verisign.com/nds/naming/

querying on ROMANCATHOLICISM.COM:

Domain Name: ROMANCATHOLICISM.COM
Registrar: DOMAINDISCOVER
Whois Server: whois.domaindiscover.com
Referral URL: http://www.domaindiscover.com
Name Server: NS.BUYDOMAINS.COM
Name Server: THIS-DOMAIN-FOR-SALE.COM
Status: REGISTRAR-LOCK
Updated Date: 03-oct-2003
Creation Date: 26-jul-2003
Expiration Date: 26-jul-2005

Registrar is normally at www.domaindiscover.com

(from whois.domaindiscover.com)

Some people would sell their grandmother if the price was right, don't you
think?!

Nah, I love my grandmother that much (God bless her soul...)...

To all who need to know their registrars based on the other
extensions, the WHOIS lookups are listed below:

.COM/.NET - http://www.verisign.com/nds/naming/
.ORG - http://www.pir.org/whois_search/
.INFO - http://www.afilias.info/whois_search/
.BIZ - http://www.whois.biz/
.US - http://www.whois.us/

For other extensions, just use google & search using .EXT registry,
where .EXT is the domain extension. (i.e. .ph, .de, etc.)
