How do I find out who owns a site?

I tried register.com, but it's not giving me the result; isn't there some other site that gives the name and address of someone who registered a site?

try http://whois.org

or for ".ie" domains....

www.domainregistry.ie have their own WHOIS search facility for Irsih Domains

www.whois.net is good for the main TLA domains, or www.allwhois.com for international enquiries (domains from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe)

This is an Irish site, registered as a .co.uk domain - pakchange.com, which bounces you to http://www.wastechange.co.uk

geektools.com have a whois proxy that keeps track of all the different whois servers for the TLD's
and sends your query to which ever one has the info.
whois.geektools.com or http://www.geektools.com/cgi-bin/proxy.cgi for the web interface.

I don't believe it has ever let me down.

That was funny the first time that happened when I was using Ikonboard v1.0, but now it just annoys me that companies can't fix the bloody thing.
