When the server comes from a domain that is not in your country,
you need to do a manual whois in order to find the service
provider's contact information.
Below are some examples of the server coming from different
countries and the whois server you would use.
the.domain.com: You would use rs.internic.net
the.domain.edu: You would use rs.internic.net
the.domain.fr:  You would use whois.ripe.net 
the.domain.it:  You would use whois.nis.garr.it 
the.domain.jp:  You would use whois.nic.ad.jp 
the.domain.mil: You would use whois.nic.mil

the.domain.org: You would use whois.internic.net 
the.domain.se:  You would use whois.sunet.se
