The MX record indicates that easyhosting.com is providing the email service. This is also usually the host of the website. I agree that meganameservers is the domain registrar in this case.
highpointenvironmental.ca. 86400 IN MX 100 mx2.easyhosting.com.
highpointenvironmental.ca. 86400 IN MX 110 mx3.easyhosting.com.

There is a service to find who is hosting a website:

http://www.whoishostingthis.com/
The network/hostIP belongs to MEGANAMESERVERS.COM.
The contact listed is the same as the registrar: admin@internetnamesforbusi ness.com
Ping the host (www.highpointenvironmental.ca) , and you get an IP address: 216.251.32.98
Then, lookup the IP address: http://whois.arin.net/rest/nets;q=216.251.32.98?showDetails=true
Trace shows it goes to a hosting service listed in/near Ft.Lauderdale.

Could also be a reseller of the virtualized hosting. This company: http://www.bluegenesis.com sells reseller plans and lists MEGANAMESERVERS.COM as their servers.

How do I transfer my existing name to your servers?
Most registrars give you a username and password so you can go to their site, login and make the necessary DNS modifications (change hosts). You'll need to enter in our nameserver information as follows:
Primary IP: 216.251.32.100
Primary Hostname: ns1.meganameservers.com
Secondary IP: 216.251.32.101

>There really is no way to be super sure, unless you call up easyhosting.com and try to get the information from them
Easyhosting.com was sold off from Look.ca (ISP) to BlueGenesis.com in October 2008 for $3.8MM.
BlueGenesis uses the names
megamailservers.com
meganameservers.com
internetnamesforbusiness.c om uses their servers...may or may not be directly related.
