Buying a Domain Name

thephoneguy · 2012-02-23 18:01:19

I am looking to buy a .ie domain name that is already taken. It is just re-directing to another website ( Affiliate Site ) How do I contact the person that owns it. I have done a whois search and got his name but there is no email address.

You can't trade .ie domains in the same way that you can trade .com domain names. The IEDR has what's known as a Thin Whois. This means that it does not publish contact information such as e-mail addresses.
