Hi Amit, Thank you for your feedback. Cox is telling me I can do a reverse lookup myself. The reverse lookup I am finding shows a subdomain I chose some time ago on a domain I own. I was told Cox is getting out of hosting and DNS. Is there anyway to determine where the DNS is coming from? Thank you for all your help!!
