Do a 'whois' search. This is a search that shows you who has registered a domain. There are many sites that allow you to perform this search; see Resources for just a few examples. The site WhoIsHostingThis.com offers the simplest results; typing in a website address will yield the very simple result: 'xxx.com is hosted at xxx.com,' as seen in the image.
Read through the results of a more complex 'whois' search, such as one done through GoDaddy's 'whois' search. In the example in the image, Registered through: GoDaddy.com, Inc. shows the website DesignLogicMedia.com is hosted at GoDaddy. The administrative and technical contacts show DomainsByProxy, meaning privacy restrictions were put into place to prevent the address and phone number from showing up and being available to spammers.
Call or e-mail the administrative or technical contact, if it is listed, for further information.
Go to the website itself as an alternate to, or in addition to, a 'whois' search. Often, the website will have information on where it is hosted. Scroll down to the bottom of the page, and you may see 'Hosted by' and the name of a company.
Contact the person listed as webmaster on the website itself. Depending on the circumstances, that person may be willing to offer you information.

Free Alternatives to cPanelIn Feburary 2016 22,
In Feburary 2016 22,
Webmin provides an open source hosting control panel that provides many of the same features that you would find through cPanel, such as disk and bandwidth usage, website backups, scheduled cron jobs, system logs, SSH access, and support for MySQL and PostgreSQL databases. Webmin is also incredibly customizable, just like cPanel, so if you are reselling server space on a machine with webmin, you can brand it to your own company.Three major differences that set Webmin apart (and some believe, above) cPanel are the expansion of Webmin via modules, Usermin, and Virtualmin. Through Webmin modules, you can further expand Webmin's usage, and because Webmin is a free control panel, there are hundreds of 3rd party modules that others have created as well. Usermin and Virtualmin provide extended usability through webmail and domain hosting integration.
Easy Hosting Control Panel
Easy Hosting Control Panel (EHCP) is a web hosting control panel that is offered by a variety of hosting providers and available to you for free. Though EHCP is branded as the easiest option for web hosting, it does not include all the options that cPanel does. However, for a simple and effective solution, EHCP does work well for the following features: domain management, email management, FTP setup, subdomain management, MySQL and phpMyAdmin support, and one-click installations of Joomla, Forums, Drupal, b2evolution, Wordpress, and more.The only real downside to using EHCP is the lack of support on their website. However, because so many 3rd parties create modules for EHCP, other websites (as well as EHCP's forums) may be able to offer assistance to the most common issues.
GNUPanel
GNUPanel is a viable competitor for cPanel, with one minor difference: GNUPanel only works for the Debian OS. While Debian is a pretty popular Linux distro that runs on PHP5, you may need to double check with certain web hosting providers to ensure they can support it.However, despite this small shortcoming, GNUPanel can help you manage nearly everything you can through cPanel but without the cost. Through GNUPanel, you can manage your web hosting server, email, databases, FTP accounts, protect directories, park domains, accept online payments, and more. GNUPanel also comes with support for webmail, mailing lists, MySQL and PostgreSQL databases, and the Quanta web development environment. Essentially, it is one of the leading cPanel competitors because of its long list of features. However, like EHCP, the support is unfortunately lacking.
SysCP
Another big free competitor for cPanel, SysCP is unlike the others in that it provides a large and extensive knowledge base and how-to support system via its main website. Because SysCP works with nearly every Linux distro, your web hosting provider is very likely to support it as an installable control panel option instead of cPanel. Plus, like EHCP, SysCP offers many 3rd party modules, so there is always room for expansion.SysCP includes the following features, which are very similar to cPanel's offerings: reseller and customer administrative settings, email and FTP management, billing and ticketing systems, SaaS application installers, newsletter options, logging and error page management, support for SpamAssassin and webmail, and more.
Expert Insight
In reviewing your options for free alternatives to cPanel, always try the control panel's demo if they offer one. All of the free control panels mentioned here offer demo interfaces that you can instantly view and work in. That way, you can play around in the control panel and ensure it is both efficient and works for exactly what you need. Testing all the features and ensuring there is a good support community for the product are two of the most important things to consider when making your final choice.

How to Host a Card PartyIn Feburary 2016 19,
In Feburary 2016 19,
Invite your friends. Send invitations to your card party at least 2 weeks in advance. Include the time, date and location of your party in your invitation along with a single face card from a deck of cards. You can use these cards to divide your guests into groups.
Purchase prizes. Everyone loves to get a prize when they win a game, and it is no different with cards. Prizes don't have to cost a lot of money and can be as simple as a new deck of cards or candy.
Decide on the games. There are so many card games you could play, but you really need to narrow it down to about three. Make sure that the games you choose are ones that everyone knows, or can learn quickly, and will fit into the time frame of your party. You may decide to play only one card game, but do it in tournament style.
Have the rules available for all games. Print off the rules for each game you will play. Having these handy will keep participants from having to ask questions. Each table of players can refer to their own set of printed rules. Rules for card games often come with the deck but can also be downloaded online.
Set up tables. Set your party tables up with enough room to maneuver around them. It is a good idea to make sure that the tables you use have room for people to place their drinks, or that there is a table nearby for them to set a beverage.
Put up decorations. No party is complete without a few decorations. You can find card themed decorations at any party store and even online. If you don't want to spend a lot of money, simply make your own decorations by using an old deck of cards. Cards can be used as centerpieces, as garland and even as place cards with your guests' names.
Prepare refreshments. Having refreshments for your party will definitely please the crowd. You can ask guests to bring their favorite snack food or drink, or you can do it yourself. Peanuts and pretzels are good munchies on a small budget.
