I needed to report a problem with a web site on IP address 94.229.73.157, so I did a WHOIS lookup and got the following:
person: David Howes address: UK Dedicated Servers Ltd address: 61 Somers Road Industrial Estate address: Rugby address: Warwickshire address: CV22 7DG mnt-by: UKSERVERS-MNT abuse-mailbox: abuse@ukservers.com phone: +44 (0)870 067 2522 nic-hdl: DH1778-RIPE source: RIPE # Filtered remarks: For Abuse Please Email: abuse@ukservers.com
It shows an abuse email address of ‘abuse@ukservers.com’, so I send my email to that address describing the problem. This is what I get back:
