  I’m not sure I understand this — are you trying to confirm the site is hosted here?

  One way to find out is to go to whoishostingthis.com and paste the link there. If we’re not the hosts, it will usually tell you who is hosting it.

  Hi there,

  I had a look and im getting Hosting Provider: Digital Ocean. However the person in question identified WP as his host??

  This means that the site is hosted by Digital Ocean and it’s using the WordPress software.

  The WordPress software is used by many hosting providers (including WordPress.com) to power the sites they host.
