Web hosting?

NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
[quote author="small" date=1215139854]I'm curious. What web hosting does this site use?</blockquote>


My educated guess for hosting provider is <a href="http://www.dreamhost.com/">DreamHost</a>.
 
To answer that question, just go to register.com and do a whois domain name lookup. If you put in irvinehousingblog.com you get the following result.

showing: dreamhost.com as the hosing service.

Technically, that isn't quite correct. Doing the domain lookup such as you did only indicates who is hosting the DNS records for the domain, not necessarily where the web space is hosted. That are often different but in this case it appears the web hosting company is also hosting the DNS...
