How do I find the owner of a certain domain? And when found, how do I find the contact details for the owner?

Adding to Azeem's answer, since the registrars (the companies that registers the domain names) are not required to provide the real name of the domain owners, you will find difficult to reach out to the person that owns the domain name. Normally you'll find just a generic e-mail like the one you see in Azeem's example above, hostmaster@amazon.com.

Could you elaborate your question. In my understanding from your question you have a domain name eg: "example.com" and you want to find out who owns it and what are the contact details. If yes, there are few ways to do it.

  1. You can use whois cli from your windows/mac/linux terminal. It will show up the details.
  2. If you would like to use GUI approach you can use websites like https://who.is/
