asked on

where is website hosted

from a whois on godaddy.com/whois
Name Server: NS75.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
Name Server: NS76.DOMAINCONTROL.COM
DNSSEC: unsigned

A website owner hires another person to blog his small business wordpress website
Website thinks his company is hosted elsewhere and thinks that his blogger has a dedicated server
I think it is hosted by godaddy
Maybe the godaddy nameservers point somewhere else

Is there another test I can show website owner where his website is hosted
I cant log into his godaddy or wordpress

Not enough information to go on there. The name server can point to ANY IP address on the planet.

Can you give us either the website name, or the IP pointed by its A record?
Type       Domain Name       IP Address       TTL
A       ns75.domaincontrol.com       216.69.185.48
GoDaddy.com, LLC (AS26496)
      48 hrs
      Test       Result
      DNS Record Published       DNS Record found

Your DNS hosting provider is "GoDaddy"  Need Bulk Dns Provider Data?
Post the actual site URL + someone can walk you through all the tools.

You're only looking at the Registrar. Site may be hosted elsewhere.

To guess about hosting, use tools to search for GEO (location) of IP + what company owns the IP's block.

Next, ownership of the domain and hosting account is important to be able to take control over the account(s).

If it isn't under the correct ownership, the rightful owner may need to make a demand to the provider, to correct the domain / hosting account ownership.
I read you original question again.

Developers tend to hijack sites, in various ways, more than you might imagine.

Some of these hijacks can be highly intelligent + difficult to unwind + may have guards built in which crash sites or disable content, if you attempt to disable the hijacks.

If you think someone has engaged in nefarious activity on a site, likely best to hire someone to scan the code + database for... oddities...

Where oddities can encompass many hijack approaches. I've been hosting sites since 1994 + I've seem some very crafty hijacks.
