What do you mean by "owns"? Do you mean the authoritative name server, or an email address corresponding to the person responsible for (owning) the domain, or do you actually want some contact details about the domain? 1. Authoritative name server(s) -- dig ns some.dom.ain 2. Email address (authority record) -- dig soa some.dom.ain 3. Contact details -- whois some.dom.ain You'll probably find that #2 also gives you the authoritative name servers from #1. Sometimes you'll find whois fails to work for a domain, in which case you can try to guess the whois server (often "whois.nic" at the top level domain, e.g. whois.nic.uk, whois.nic.fr), or try using the appropriate NIC website, e.g. www.nic.uk, www.nic.cn).
