I'm not the person you were replying to, but in the past, I've just used an IP reputation checking website, such as:

Find out the IP address of the machine hosting the domain, then do a reverse lookup on that IP address. It might show the last domain hosted on that IP address.

Using dig:

$>dig yourdomain.tld

1.2.3.4

$>dig -x 1.2.3.4

evilcorp.com
