Hello

I've had contact from a company claiming to be dedicated server providers. Is it possible to check out whether this company are infact just resellers or whether they do run their own servers. I've seen you guys mention whois but am not really sure how this works etc. For reference the domain I want to research is maintrade.com

TIA
John
