Hi! The only way on the current Internet to remain anonymous is to obscure the domain registrant from right when the domain is initially registered. It's also important to use a service that pools a lot of domains together or have diversity in the hosting providers so they can't be easily correlated. We try and help people understand and make the problem visible. You bring up a good point that it should be easier.

Yeah, it's hard. If one has multiple domains from multiple tld's pointing to the same server, it's really easy to find out other domains and tlds with more detailed and easier to access records that will reveal the owner's identity.
Privately registered eu domains are quite nice. I couldn't even find two of such that I own in your database and whois only reveals email (which I made sure from the beginning to be of the same domain that I just registered, so that's useless for anything). People can probably pay for more info though.

You probably misread the word. It's not security, but privacy. And privacy is made by obscuring, usually.

Hi ohashi, we do not only track the current and historical whois records, but also current and historical DNS records, even for subdomain, which technologies the website uses and even more data which we are currently working on. Maybe try our WHOIS aggregation feature and let us know what you think!

So has Domaintools (http://domaintools.com) but both are expensive (Domaintools in particular is very expensive) whereas DNSTrails appears to be free unless you want API access.

#49I'm finding that sometimes it'll turn up the data correctly and other times it won't match what I can find by manually typing in addresses into domains.google As in this service will claim all data is private when google is able to return the actual registrant email address and/or name. As well as valid phone numbers which don't match what dnstrails is outputting.
thanks for the note and testing. Would love to dig into any specific use cases so we can see whats going on. chris at securitytrails.com
Try damsteen.nl for instance, my blog, it shows no whois at all.

#50Looks like I own around 289,000+ domains that I’m not aware of.
