Yes! Firstly, ask them. If they are an honest company they will tell you, if they say no and you still don't believe them, get your server name/IP address and do a reverse domain check and see how many domains are hosted on that server. Try this service: http://www.majesticseo.com/research/...checker.php?d=
On the right when you look it up you will see the entire IP field. If you see something like 10-100 thousands websites then unless they are a massive company..they are a reseller. If not, then they either have a good dedicated IP address or they are telling the truth!
Lastly, do a Reverse DNS lookup on their IP address. It will give a hostname for the IP, if it is host.hostgator.com then that should answer your question .
Thats all I can think of .

intodns.com can help as the host might (unintentionally) leave clues in SOA records etc.
