Ninjakreborn Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Ah.You could probably have a bot hit the who-is database and do a search for it, and see what you can find, and then extract that piece of data. However the who-is might not allow that, so you might want to check there terms of service, or be careful or they could block your ip.
