To determine the owner of a website, you can follow these steps:
Perform a WHOIS Lookup:
Utilize a WHOIS lookup service such as ICANN’s WHOIS Lookup, or websites like Whois.net or Whois.com.
Enter the domain name to retrieve the registrant’s information, which might include the name, organization, email address, and more. Note that some registrants use privacy protection services designed to keep their information hidden.
Check the Website’s About or Contact Page:
Visit the website and look for ‘Contact,’ ‘About Us,’ or ‘Team’ pages. These pages sometimes provide insights into the organization or person responsible for the website.
Search the Domain’s IP Address:
Use tools like “DNS Checker” to find the website’s IP address. Cross-reference the IP address with online databases to see if it connects to a known web host.
Analyze Historical Data:
Websites like the Wayback Machine (archive.org) provide previous versions of the website, which might display owner information not currently present.
Look Through Social Media Profiles:
Check for social media accounts linked through the website. Often, pages like LinkedIn or Facebook might list the website’s owner, especially if it’s a personal blog or a small business.
Research Business Registries:
For commercial entities, search through official business registries or databases where businesses might be obliged to list their website details.
Contact the Host:
If all else fails, identify the hosting provider through WHOIS or domain tools and contact them. While they might not provide the owner’s personal information, they can sometimes forward your inquiry to the owner.
Professional Assistance:
Consider hiring a professional service or private investigator to identify the owner if it’s critical for your business needs.

Use these steps with respect to privacy laws and ethical guidelines as obtaining personal information without consent can sometimes infringe on data privacy regulations.
