Competitor stole content

How can I contact their host?

[ariff44]

Or more appropriately, how can I find out who their host is? I would like to send them info on the offending site and Digitial Rights Act.

Thanks everybody...

Do a whois on the domain name and look for the name server entry. Those are usually

ns1.theirhostingprovider.com
ns2.theirhostingprovider.com

Also, be sure to check the host's Terms of Service so that you can also include a reference if they explicitly prohibit such behavior by their clients.

Address the e-mail to the appropriate department to ensure it gets to the right people (ie, an abuse reporting address, or administrative, rather than sales or technical support). This is much appreciated by staff.

I would also cc the email to the webmaster of the offending site (assuming they have an email addy).

Doing that may be just enough to get them to remove it fast, especially if the ISP has a policy on this.

Good luck,
