# how do i find out who i bought my domain name off?
cos i need to change where it points to, cos as it is it is just a mess of broken images and i now have groovy-arse hosting. however i can't remember who i bought it off, and have formatted my hard drive since, losing the emails. any ideas? a whois search or something?

# Would a whois search do it?

# Go to
www.nameboy.com and click on their whois. They've got lots of other fun, as well, like a link that makes up rhyming domain names
