I am an amateur and a newbie to website management. I am currently managing a website for a small organization to which I belong. It would be very helpful if somebody could help me with the following doubts...
The situation: Our organization bought a domain (say domain1) and a hosting (say hosting1) through a person (say Mr. X) initially. He had bought the domain from godaddy, but we do not know the details of the hosting provider. However, as his service was unsatisfactory, we personally bought another domain (say domain2) and a wordpress hosting (say hosting2) (both from godaddy) and created a website ourselves. Then, we terminated the contract with Mr. X and took charge of domain1 and hosting1 from them. We redirected the old domain (domain1) to the new domain (domain2) and our website is functioning well. We are left with the hosting1 we got from Mr. X, which is still active. I have the cpanel login details for this hosting.
Now, these are my doubts:
1) I do not know what is the hosting company for the cPanel. whoishostingthis.com tells me the current hosting provider, but not the earlier hosting provider. How can I find the details of the hosting provider for hosting1 (just curious)?
2) The cPanel of hosting1 still has the details of the domain1 (which we have acquired and redirected). So, whenever I try to reinstall wordpress, it gets installed with the old domain (domain1) details. How can I remove the old domain details? I am asking this because under 'domain' section in my cpanel, I see addon domains, subdomains, aliases, redirects, advanced zone editor. I see no 'domain' as such which can be deleted/removed.
3) After removing the old domain (domain1) from hosting1, I want to install wordpress in hosting1 and would like to do some tinkering so that I can learn more about wordpress. But, is it possible to install wordpress in cPanel without a domain?
