    It is in this link:

    [link moderated, for privacy]

    My name is in the first paragraph.

    I need it removed ASAP. I have used the “contact us” section many times requesting to have my name removed… but still no reply!!!

    WordPress.org has no control over this. You will need to contact the website owner (as you have tried to do – keep trying) and failing that, potentially the company hosting it.

    How do I contact the company hosting it?? Please help me!!!

    It says that the website is powered by wordpress.

    although that site is build with WordPress.org, unfortunately, nobody in this WordPress.org forum will be able to help with your request.

    try possibly to contact the site’s owner (or the editors or administrators of that site) to edit or delete your details.

    if the site owner is not contactable or coopertive, one possible way for you is to contact the site’s hosting company and ask them to edit or remove the information.

    to find out who is hosting the site, use one of the available online tools like ‘whois.net’ or similar.

    I have removed the link to that site from your topic to spare you additional attention to the problem.

    I tried multiple sites.. but no luck to be able to locate the person hosting the site 🙁

    not the person – but the company, hosting the site.

    there are many sites which can provide the wanted information;
    use a search engine to search for ‘domain lookup tools’ and use any of the sites from the search result; this should give you information of who is owning and hosting the site in question …

    I tried the link above and got some data. It is giving multiple emails. Which one do I email?? The registrant email, tech email or registrant email?

    Thanks for all your help!!!!

    Visit the hosting provider that http://www.whoishostingthis.com/ reports. Sometimes it isn’t linked there, so just search for the name of the hosting provider that is reported.

    When you arrive at the site for the hosting provider, look for any form of contact on that page, preferably an Abuse contact, Support would be the next choice of course, and after that really anything that says “contact.”
