   should be deleted.

 * My name is in the first paragraph.

   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.

 * 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.

   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/](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.”
