Did you try one of the more obvious methods? Asking them?

Traceroutes and whois'ing the IP address of the their nameservers...that's two of the ways of doing it if they don't respond.

Thank you.
Here is the result of whois'ing the IP address

Server Name: NS.COMPILA2.NET
IP Address: 217.199.170.134
Registrar: BB ONLINE UK LTD
Whois Server: whois.nominate.net
Referral URL: http://www.nominate.net

So, does it mean they are not a reseller?
