I'm curious who owns rantingly.com. It sells itself as a 'conservative alternative to the drudgereport.com' and is run by "One guy named Nick - 365 days a year". ...yea ok.
The website is suspiciously pro-Israel so my initial thought is that MOSSAD is running it.
I go to https://lookup.icann.org/en/lookup and put in rantingly.com. I get:
Name: PERFECT PRIVACY, LLC Mailing Address: 5335 Gate Parkway, Jacksonville, FL, 32256, US
Literally right next door to "5335 Gate Parkway, Jacksonville, FL, 32256, US" is "6061 Gate Pkwy N, Jacksonville, FL 32256" - (THE FBI)
Is the "5335 Gate Parkway, Jacksonville, FL, 32256, US" the correct address associated with rantingly.com? Or did I make an error?
With privacy features it's pretty hard for mortals to really know who owns a domain. Even then only investigation via where the payment is coming from is the only true way.
Determining who owns it by where it's being hosted is also difficult to pin down. Often sites are hosted on foreign servers, but that doesn't mean it's foreign owned. Many us domains have foreign servers to improve response Into that area.
Sometimes you can get clues from the site code. If the developers are morons sometimes they will add Comments to the code that aren't removed before publishing.
Check the registered name against the secretary of state of Florida data base (information should be available online for free) and see if they used a registered agent (such as a law office) to setup the corporate registration. If they used an agent, they have something to hide
Not necessarily, often out of state corporations use resident agents to do business in other states or show a business address without actually having an office there... very common.
While very true, I believe his point is it's "just a guy" running the site on his own. Nothing worth going to that level of business. Now if he has investors, that would be a reason to use that structure
"something to hide"
it's retarded to use your personal details to register a domain
you want to know who own's mine? get a court order
Why dont you try another whois tool then, see if they match. Theres more than icann you know.
