This topic (and the use of Copyscape) comes up frequently on the NAPO email chat. I’m really glad to see you sharing the whole process here, Janet.
I was surprised to learn you could find the hosts from WhoIs, as I’ve only ever used it to find the owner/registrant of the domain name. However, I pulled up WhoIs.com (like WhoIs.sc) and found the hosts by looking at the “Name Server” field. Ah! My only concern is that even after the hosts have pulled the sites down, there’s nothing to keep the plagiarists from finding another host and starting all over again.
I guess these just means we must be ever vigilant. At least, however, once you know who has violated your copyright, you know who to Google first to keep tabs on them. Thanks for the reminder!
Julie, that is an interesting point, but so far none of my plagiarists have bothered to set up another site – or if they have, they’re no longer using my content. I think that most serious professionals will remove the material once the issue has been brought to their attention, and that genuine scammers will just find someone else to plagiarize.

Since you published this article I’ve been regularly visiting Copyscape to check my website pages & articles. It helped me stop someone who copied a page of my site.
Thank you for posting this information.
