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!!
Keith
