Discover Who is Hosting Any Website

As part of its crackdown on spam, Google and other search engines are very active in barring sites that steal content from others. However, what do you do when you stumble across a page that's blatantly ripping you off? It's important to act fast because you don't want to be misidentified as the site doing the copying instead!

1. Sending a cease and desist notice to the site in question;
2. Filing a complaint with Google for copyright infringement;
3. Report the problem to the web provider and ask them to take action.

For the third option, you need to know the name of the provider who hosts the web site. All major web hosting providers have a DMCA takedown form for copyright and trademark violations that allows you to submit complaints directly to them, and the tool on this page will help you identify the entity with whom you need to file a complaint.
