Whois server

[dsaunier]

Hi
Following a support ticket I thought I'd ask here which Whois server you people use for com net and org domains. The one entered by default does not provide details on the domain owner and contact. Care to share which one you use ?

Regard.

mmh, seems that there is no owner
maybe there is an extra owner call for the registar. pleas report it here if you found out.

Thanks for the reply but it seems you have the same issue: only date details on your domain, the main ones like the owner are AWOL !

Only .com and .net seem to have this problem, my other TLD´s including .org It shows me the contac´s details.
