How do i find out the ownership history of a specific domain name,
such as quickersearching.com and scenicgreetings.com? Meaning the past
whois information for these domain names.

Hello again.

At www.archive.org is a wonderful tool called the Wayback Machine,
which can take you to archived websites of years past.  For instance,
the archived pages for www.scenicgreetings.com can be found here:

http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.scenicgreetings.com

where you will find five archived versions of the page from August 17,
2000 through to March 31, 2001.

-----------------------------

The popular whois searches have recently been augmented by a new
"whowas: service that can search past records. The service is run by
Dialog.  You can find a detailed description of the service at:

http://www.infotoday.com/online/may03/goldstein.shtml

(near the bottom of the page) and a direct link to Dialog's page at:

http://library.dialog.com/bluesheets/html/bl0225.html

From experience, I can tell you that Dialog is generally not the
easiest system to use.  I haven't used "whowas" myself, so I[m afraid
I can't walk you through any detailed steps on this.

Let me know if any of this is unclear, or if you need additional
information.  And again, my apologies.

I had accidently posted a clarification request as an answer to this
question (which has since been removed) but in order not to
inconvenience the customer, posted the information I had available as
a comment, above.
