Question by The Commissioner: How do you search the WhoIs database?
I am trying to figure out how to research the WhoIs database to see who how many domain names, and which ones, to which a person or entity is registered?

For example, I’m trying to figure out how many domain names are registered to John Doe. I’d like access to the WhoIs database so I can search for all sites that have the registrant John Doe and have a list returned to me.

I know I can enter a website, like www.OneMonthFree.com, into a domain registration firm like GoDaddy and use their WhoIs database to find out the registrant of a specific domain, but there are some 59 million .com sites and I really don’t have that much time. I want to reverse that process and research on name or address or phone number or other searchable field.

Naturally, I’d like to search for free, but pay sites are OK.

Question by Emeka N: How do I hide my Information from whois database when opening a website?
I have a domain name but I want it completly anonymous. Is there any domain companies that protect you the best or allows you to put whatever DNS, Hosting and Register info you want there? Nothing like Godaddy’s Domain by Proxy alternative. Read there Terms & Condition. They will release your info if forced too.

Someone told me outside the US has solutions but want to know someone that has use there solution or someone that can tell me which one works best.

You can’t really, but you can lie. Ficticious name and number, etc. The DNS info has to be right but the contact info doesn’t really have to, unless you plan on getting an outside agency to verify a secure certificate. But that’s a different matter all together.

You just can’t hide from the man. Anyone can ping/traceroute your site, figure out who is hosting it, and contact them…there is no way around that. And even if it’s hosted outside of the US, if you are doing something illegal with it, they can get your infomation. Just about all hosting companies have some sort of policy that says they will give you up if a badge and a warrent show up at their door.

How can you expect to keep an anonymous website if you aren’t even anonymous when you browse them?

Why do you need to be anonymous anyways? I mean it looks like you are saying that you don’t want a hosting company to release your info if someone came to them with a warrent because you were breaking the law. That sounds like you are planning on breaking the law to me, and the federal prison systems in the US are sprinkled with lawbreakers that tried to take advantage or otherwise circumvent the law using the internet.

On the otherhand, maybe you are not doing anything illegal and you are just really wanting total privacy regarding your site…well then if that’s the case, the godaddy’s proxy alternative should be perfect for what you want.

good luck.

Question by SexyPantsMan: How would you find the hostname for database access with yahoo Small Business Domain hosting?
I cannot find the database location for the website I am trying to put up. Whenever I try to do the mysqli_connect.php, it does not find the host. Is it www.thewebsite.com/phpMyAdmin or ftp.thewebsite.com or is it something different? If someone could direct me to where I could find the information on the database location using yahoo, then I would really appreciate it.

99% of the time the hostname is ‘localhost’ without the apostrophe’s.

For example:

Hostname: localhost
DB Name: user_dbname
DB User: user_dbuser
Password: yourpassword

Hope this helps.
