  I am helping a friend with their WP blog http://soaring.eu. I need to do some admin work but I’m not sure where the site is hosted. I suspect it is hosted with WordPress.com. Can someone tell me how to figure that out?

  Regards,
  Bill

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I visited the blog and same the “powered by WordPress” link in the footer. I then went to Google and used who hosts this site?
