Lycos has sold the domain name HotBot.com, which has a long and storied history.
HotBot has gone through a number of iterations but started as a meta search engine that would query search (and directory) results from multiple search engines and directories. It was relaunched in 2011 as a portal and metasearch engine pulling results from Yahoo, MSN and IlGo.com.
The new owner is holding the domain at GoDaddy and is using a whois privacy service. The nameservers still point to Lycos.
