How to find your website's hosting company
Start with invoices and your website account. DNS and IP lookups are clues, not proof of who bills for hosting.

Start with invoices and your website account. DNS and IP lookups are clues, not proof of who bills for hosting.
Search your records for hosting renewals, website setup emails and your developer's handover notes. Identify three potentially different companies: the domain registrar, DNS provider and actual web host.
For your own domain, inspect A/AAAA and CNAME records and use a public IP ownership lookup. A Cloudflare or other CDN address may hide the origin; nameservers may identify only DNS. If uncertain, ask the site owner or developer without sharing passwords. A server hostname is not necessarily a usable control-panel URL.
