How to determine who administers a website.

There are a number of ways to do this. 1. Often the name of the webhost will be visible in the header/footer of the customer's website. If not... 2. Check the source. Right-click somewhere in the body of the webpage and choose the option to 'view source' (the best place is on one of the vehicles in their vehicle list - sometimes the host of the vehicle page is different from the host of the Home page of the site). The exact verbiage will vary depending on your web-browser. 3. Ping the site. Sometimes pinging the site, (from a DOS prompt type: PING www.domainname.com ). In certain instances this will resolve the name of the hosts site. 4. Traceroute the site. If you still cannot determine the site's provider a trace route may indicate via the hops. (typically the latter hops in-line). (From a DOS prompt type: TRACERT www.domainname.com). 5. If all of this fails� ask someone at the dealership. After all, it's their website, and they're paying someone for it. Someone there 'should' know. (Information courtesy of Jeremy)
