There are a number of ways, but the easiest is to perform a 'whois' search on the domain.

Most domain registrars have this service, but you can search the internet for 'whois' you'll find a number of sites offering these services.

Some domain information can be private, so you may have to inquire through a service provider to obtain information about the owner of the domain.

Answer 2

When you register a domain name, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) requires your domain name registrar to submit your personal contact information to the WHOIS database. Once your listing appears in this online directory, it is publicly available to anyone who chooses to check domain names using the WHOIS search tool.

Answer 3

You can look up the owner of the IP address using a WHOIS service. The American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) database covers North American IP addresses, the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) website can tell you which databse to use for what region.

This will tell you who owns the actual IP address, not necessarily who is using it. For example, most residential IP addresses will resolve to an internet provider, like Cox, Verizon, Comcast, TCI, AOL, EarthLink, etc. Most website IPs will resolve to a server hosting service, like DreamHost or GoDaddy.
