web hosting

cybervex

I had a webpage created for me and I am unable to contact the designer for the last 3 months. The site is in dire need of updates. I feel I can now do these updates but have no access to the site. I would like to move the files to a new host but I do not know who the current host is.

Is there a way to find out what company is hosting a particular webpage?

What's the website URL?

You could probably go to www.whois.com and enter the domain name under 'easy domain search' click 'go' and on the next page at the bottom click 'whois lookup'.

..you may run into trouble with the hosting co not being much help to you - how do they know that it is your site and not the chap you hired to do the maintenance?

Obviously you don't have the uid/pw for the website in order to change it - so unless it has your own domain name associated to it, you may be better off saving the current site to your hd, update it, and find another hosting co...
