My company has a foo.in website but often times people accidentally use foo.com instead.

Now I was interested in buying the foo.com domain name but it comes up as already owned. A whois lookup shows this:



On the other hand, the foo.com webpage doesn't seem to belong to any legitimate entity. It just looks like this:



Is this an example of cybersquatting? If so, is godaddy the squatter or someone else? e.g. For some legitimate websites whois shows the Registrant Organization its email address, physical address etc.

But in this case the entry for foo.com doesn't. How do I go about finding who the current owner is?

Interesting, a Whois lookup I did resulted in the domain being registered at Tucows, not GoDaddy. Tucows is only the registrar, not the owner. The owner is DigiMedia.com, L.P. A three character .COM domain is a very good and very valuable domain name to own. Since the domain is parked, the owner is likely a domain investor. If you're interested in making them an offer for the domain, you can find their contact information in the domain's Whois here: whois.domaintools.com/foo.com.

Also this is not an example of cybersquatting. Cybersquatting specifically refers to people who register well-known company or brand names in the hopes of making a profit off of them.
