  Hello, I would like to report a few websites that I recently found googling my business name and personal name. How do I go about reporting this?

  Please advise.

  Thanks,

  Hi @busybeeinv, here’s a guide to reporting sites:

  What if it states powered by WordPress and unable to delete and/ or report?

  @busybeeinv the site might not be hosted with us. Have you confirmed where it is hosted? You can use whoishostingthis or something similar.

  If it is not hosted with our service, you’ll need to contact the service provider.

  I really appreciate the information and direction to take. Here’s the info I found on from your info:hosting
  Hosting Provider:
  Leaseweb-usa-wdc

  Do you have any idea how to remove a defamation webpage against my company and personal names?

  Any assistance would be much appreciated :-)

  Ok, so that site is not hosted with us, which means we won’t be able to do anything directly here.

  The hosting provider should have an abuse or report contact listed on their site, and I recommend using that.
