Hi

Is it possible to find out the web hosting company of the web site that
posted inappropriate personal information?

Thanks

Most likely yes, by doing a whois lookup [1] for the domain name.

Security is the one concept, which makes things in your life stay as
they are. Otto is a man, who is afraid of changes in his life; so
naturally he does not employ security.

FWIW:

I'm a rank amateur and usually the net *recipient* of more advice than I'm qualified to give, but
here is a place you might get started: http://openrbl.org/ I haven't used it for a long time, and
in fact don't have the smarts to use all the stuff it can do, but I think you can find the IP
address of the web page and it will tell you who the other players are. I think. I used it trying
to track why emails from a site were being blocked. Never tried it with a web site.
