Question

Answer 1

well you can find some information that could lead you to it like the phone number and people that work there like this:
go to www.dnsstuff.com and scroll to the bottom, next to the whois button, type the site name. here's what i found for about.com:

next i google: "About, Inc" founder

and got this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/About.com

which said: The site was launched on April 21st, 1997 by Scott Kurnit, owner of General Internet, Bill Day, and a group of other entrepreneurs in New York City

you might try outer words than founder like launched, CEO , founded, started, began,etc
