My friend has asked me to build her site for her. She got her wordpress.org site some time ago. But she knows nothing about computers or websites. I can tell that the files are loaded on her computer, but I don't know where it's being hosted or how to upload to it... and neither does she. At first she thought her son was hosting it for her. He hasn't been much help at all. And now we're thinking that she probably signed up for one of the hosting companies and just doesn't remember. I'd like to be able to upload a template for her from my computer. Any ideas?
What if owner of site doesn't remember who the host is? (8 posts)

$ host <your website address>
or
$ whois <your website address>
I think this can also be used with windows command prompt.

I am a complete linux user and I can only tell you about the commands used through linux to get your domain registrar details.
