from this, does it mean that Easyhosting is probably the right one?
Im being told that meganameservers.com is probably hosting it, but from their website it looks like they only register domain names, and on the Whois the registrar is TUCOWS

I tried a tracert but it dies after the 5th hop

HELP!!!!

is hosting your website.
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.
highpointenvironmental.ca. 86400 IN MX 10 mx1.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@internetnamesforbusiness.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.

From http://www.bluegenesis.com/faq.htm

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.com  uses their servers...may or may not be directly related.
alright guys
I emailed all of the above hosting providers to see which one it is
I will confirm tomorrow who gave the right answer, even though pretty much you are all right
thanks for the help!!!
I was able to confirm with EasyHosting that they are hosting their website
Thanks guys!!!!!!
