If you want to find out who owns a domain name, go to
internic.com
You are correct, however keep in mind that Internic.COM is NOT the real InterNIC, which can be found at InterNIC.NET
The difference surely doesn't matter when doing lookups, however if you were ever in the market to register a domain name you should be sure to use the real InterNIC. Internic.COM charges an extra fee that you do not need to pay.
In fact, I see that they have now added the following disclaimer, which I'm sure a judge somewhere asked them nicely to add:
DISCLAIMER: Internic Software is a business name of Internic
Technology Pty Ltd ACN 079 268 714; Internic Software is a domain
name broker, which provides domain name registration services;
Internic Software is NOT Network Solutions Inc or InterNIC which
operates from www.InterNIC.net (which is the principal domain name
registration authority for, amongst others, .com, .org, .net.);
Internic Software is NOT associated, affiliated with or sponsored by
"www.InterNIC.net" or Network Solutions Inc. This web site does NOT
provide direct registration with InterNIC; This web site provides a
simple and clean method of obtaining registration of a domain name
and attracts a brokerage fee in addition to the fees charged by
InterNIC for registration. Of course, you could directly register at
www.InterNIC.net but we take all the hassle out of the domain name
registration puzzle. Please carefully read our pricing information.
