I need help bigtime with domain history

[labrocca]

Is there anyway to search every domain I owned?

I need to know a domain I owned around 1998 with N64 in the name and it was a dotcom. Odd legal issue I can't get into now.

Can anyone assist? Having a tough time tracking this down. I can't remember the domain.

Whois should be:

Jesse Labrocca
18 Saint Marks Place
New York, New York 10003

Possible nameservers were:

MM1.atari.net
MM2.atari.net


Any help appreciated.

I have never heard of a way to do this before, is there is a service like this readily available - i would be very interested to hear about it.

Well...to give you an idea how screwed I am. My ebay account was suspended. I guess they linked an account from 1998 to my current account. They won't give me too much info as they rely on the email address which is incredibly dumb. Obviously the two accounts have the same name and address otherwise they couldn't link them. But I am positive I no longer own the domain and I can't even remember what the domain was. At least I found a rep to give me a few clues...this was the 5th rep I spoke to in the past 2 months.

I been racking my head with this. Supposedly I don't owe them any money on the account. I searched Google trying to get something but dang...9 years ago! I tried contacting my old registrar about a history but they haven't responded yet.

What a mess ehh.

Odd legal issue I can't get into now.

Shouldn't this be in the legal section, then?

The biggest challenge with having the kind of service being discussed here is
that the provider must somehow have as many registrar partnerships as they
possibly can. And that takes money, of course, lots and lots of it.

One free site that's somewhat the next best thing is aboutus.org. But that's if
they logged data about that domain name to begin with.

Good luck, Jesse. I'd hate to even imagine how messy is the mess you're in.

This isn't really a legal question though. My question is domain related. I need to know if I can somehow get a history of registration based on certain criteria.

Were there email communications from your registrar regarding the change in registrant back when you transferred the domain to somebody else? Would they be able to get a copy of this email for you?

This makes me think that I should burn all the emails regarding domain name transactions into a CD.

Does anyone know where to locate a centralize database of domain whois information? Is the whois information kept by ICANN or by individual registrars? If it's kept by the registrars, then will there be a discontinuity if the domain is pushed from 1 registrar to another registrar? since each registrar will have info for different periods. Who has the complete whois info since date of creation until now?

Wow 1998!
What type of legal issue ?
If there was legal issue, maybe you can check such data with a lawyer,p.i, or by your self in court archives or public libraries, looking for that period and area, using your name as reference ? Maybe old fashion research will give you better and faster results
for your *n64* case.

But for all domains you owned....maybe you have to direct question to icann and registry operator for that zone.

You can try to dig some info at dns domain cached page:
http://web.archive.org/web/19981202230412/http://www.atari.net/

Good luck.

And there lies the rub in offering such a possibly cost-prohibitive service. No
registrar is obligated to share their registration data to anyone else without a
court order or some kind of workable agreement.

ICANN is seeking to escrow registration data. As usual, the challenge is being
able to work out the devil in the details.

try using the waybackmachine . They might have saved personal data like that.

 

[labrocca]

Archive.org doesn't help unless you know the domain which I don't have.

 

[cache]

if you bought on credit card, maybe they have some record.

Jesse,

I know this is a stretch but using this method you can browse through the listed domains and see if one of those domains (inside a 1,996 + 1,476 domain list :p ) may ring a bell for you.

Maybe you can import all those domains, and run a nameserver history check to find the atari nameserver domain(s).
But i don't know if there is a free tool out there that could do this for you though.

Good luck though.

someone got your domain name, and is now requestions "SEND MY PASSWORD" to my email button??

 

[labrocca]

Well my old registrar said in 1998 there was on NSOL. So I guess that's a help. I do remember my email address from then too. I may need to call netsol and see what they can come up with. I think I am getting closer at least.

Damion...not a bad idea..worse case I print out all those names and try to find it.

Dont know mate. I just spent a good deal of time digging through your Internet history, searching multiple associated emails, archive.org for past game sites, etc... I'm coming up short. You don't seem to have developed it, or if you did, you weren't linking to it on your other sites. Though I'm sure you've already done all of this.
