Hi guys,

How to find an email address of a specific site? i mean the site doesnt include anything all about how can you contact them.

Anybody know how to do that? i just try to send the email to: admin at thewebsitename dot com but seems no address exist.

    You might try the whois information (whois.net etc etc etc) - although, when sites don't include contact info there's probably a decent chance they've registered the domain privately as well so their contact info will not be displayed.

      if the have a bizz name an address on the site.

      got to a directory service like
      yp.com
      yellowbook.com
      superpages.com

      or
      local chamber of commerce.
      or
      manta.com

      one of those are bound to have it if its published anywhere online.

      if that doesn't do it for you. i see many paid service that will do it
      altho i have never used one myself.

        I occasionally have this problem, when wanting to contact someone who's syndicated one of my articles from EZA, or whatever.

        My conclusion is that if sending an email to "admin" (at) theirdomain.com, with copies to "support" and to "info", doesn't reach them, then they don't want to be reached. Many webmasters have set up a catch-all email, which will result in their receiving three copies, but that's their problem. :p

        Even if they have domain-name privacy/who-is protection, there has to be a way for their registrar to contact them by email.

          I thought the catch all was a thing of the past. none of my hosts currently have it. and truthfully i miss it.

          alexa, who do you host with? i'm assuming your host does wild card emails?

            I host in a load of different places, actually ... but I always set this up through my registrar (Namecheap), rather than through hosts.

            As PJ says above, ultimately there has to be a way to reach them by email (whether they'll open it and respond is a different matter).

      Even with Private Registration there is a valid contact address (e.g. abcdefghi123456.protect@guarded.com) which, in turn, must relate to a valid email address of the registrant. Using that address will result in your email being forwarded to the webmaster/administrator.
