Finding out who owns a website

The mods do a sterling job of policing this board, perhaps it is was because of the OP

While the DNS and meta data is useful, this is hardly a grabbit post?!

A useful browser toolbar is available from

http://toolbar.netcraft.com/

the toolbar

* Traps suspicious URLs containing characters which have no common purpose other than to deceive.
* Enforces display of browser navigational controls (toolbar & address bar) in all windows, to defend against pop up windows which attempt to hide the navigational controls.
* Clearly displays sites' hosting location, including country, helping you to evaluate fraudulent urls (e.g. the real citibank.com or barclays.co.uk sites are unlikely to be hosted in the former Soviet Union).

The best site for finding whois information and loads of other tools is:

http://dnsstuff.com

Its very simple layout, not ads, simply excellent.

Anyone know of a service for buying already registered .co.uk domains?
I know sites like afternic will allow you to make offers for .com domains.. but afternic says it can't do .co.uk domains.
