I am taking over a wordpress site for a company. They don't know who is currently hosting their wordpress site, all they have is the domain name hoster and the wordpress site admin login info.
Simply go to IsItWP website and enter the domain name. On the next page, IsItWP will tell you whether or not that site is using WordPress. It will also show you the website's hosting information. If the site is using WordPress, it will also show you the theme or plugins that particular website is using.
Use WHOIS, which is available from several websites. This is the database managed by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, which is the entity that tracks website ownership information. Enter the domain name in the text box and click the “Search” button.
You need to check the DNS the domain name is pointed to. You may check the nameservers (=DNS) in public Whois database: https://www.whois.net/
Also, this resourse should help: http://www.whoishostingthis.com/
It sounds to me like you already know who hosts the domain, you're just looking to find out where the actual files are being served from. If that's correct, you should try:
ping theirdomain.tld
When you ping the domain, it will give you the IP address where the files are hosted. You can plug that IP address back into whois, you'll find out who actually owns that IP address.
For example, if I want to find out where my company's website is located, I would do:
I have used quite a few, but depending on the database they work with, some deliver wrong info. The best one currently is Hosting Checker and Who Is Hosting This comes second.
