Hello everyone! I need serious help. While this domain isn't super valuable, I would like to find the owner of it but the owner has his or herself completely shrouded. I looked up via WHOIS, search Google for the domain and to see if something pops up with the owner but absolutely no such luck. Does anyone have any other suggestions, other than hiring Sedo or GoDaddy brokerage services.

You have to try Godaddy Broker service then:
Domain Broker Service
They will contact the current owner on your behalf. If it's for sale, we'll do all we can to get it for you!

DomainIQ can usually get you info that makes it easier to track back contact info and ownership. I have been able to find quite a few, others have refereed to me.

Between DomIQ (or sim data), archive.org, and some Google skip tracing skills - your odds are at least 70% of getting a good contact (#,email, etc) - remember thats is a good contact, not getting the name or even the contact to return your outreach.
Sometimes when historical whois data is lacking, also look at historical hosting records and similar keyword registrations. Occasionally they will help narrow down the registrant as well. Another really good strategy, if you are looking to acquire the name, is to reach out to the registrar. GoDaddy/Uniregistry, for example, have marketplaces so they are interested in facilitating transactions. That may work, but be prepared as not everyone wants to sell, or they may have registered the name for a third party. That happens with some IT/webmaster folks.

Domain WHOIS history?
BTW, cool website @lock
A regular who is will only show the current owner but a full history report will generally reveal the information you want. If you like my site PND you should find a link there for history look ups but be sure to checkout my traffic.tools.

@lock PremiumNameDomain.COM is a really cool and interesting website. I am shocked you haven't acquired PND.COM, that would be really cool. Your website has a ton of information, a lot going on. I spent quite I bit of time going through your website and checking things out. Looks like you've spent quite some time building that out. Impressive! I really really really love the layout for some reason.

The domain I want has been registered since 2000, and I think it's been the same owner, but it's difficult to say for sure. I will so more research on this domain.

If you’re still not having any luck, DM me the domain and I’ll check a few private sources as well as check whether there’s any technical information that may provide clues.

I dont know if this is something new, because this has just happened in the last week or so, but twice.

I've had buyers on two different domains tell me that Godaddy directed them to contact me directly regarding my domain names. I had public whois, and landing pages on the domains (with a different email matching my portfolio site brand), but they contacted me by email saying godaddy directed them to me.

I was really firm about refusing to set a price on an afternic domain that received a low initial offer iMO for the domain. Afternic rep indicated it was a serious buyer, I said I need a serious offer. Maybe they started directing buyers to me as a result. I dont know, lol.

Maybe the domain owner does not want to be found.

@namesquare sent me the domain via DM. I ran it through a bunch of services and databases, but I wasn't able to find anything. If the domain has ever been used, it predates the WHOIS and DNS history to which I have access. There isn't even enough info to easily find correlations with other domains.

With enough time, money, and direct access to raw data, you might be able to find some correlations, but I doubt you'd be able to get anything useful out of it.
