1 Open the Whois website. Go to [1] Go to https://www.whois.com/ in your computer's web browser. This website allows you to figure out who to contact for specific sites.

2 Search for the website. Type the address of the website (e.g., www.website.com ) into the search bar in the upper-right side of the page, then click WHOIS to the right of the text box.

3 Scroll down to the "ADMINISTRATIVE CONTACT" heading. You'll find this near the middle of the page. This heading is at the top of a box that contains information about the webmaster, including the proper email address at which to contact them.

4 Review the "Email" heading. You should see an email address to the right of the "Email" heading; this is the address that you'll use to file your request.

5 Address an email to the webmaster. Open a new email window in your preferred email inbox, then type the "Email" heading's address into the "To" text box.

6 Write a professional request. In the email's main text box, politely request that the webmaster remove the post from their website. Your request should be brief. For example, you might send "Hello, I notice that you posted [content about you] on [date]. I would like to request that you remove it from your site, as [reason for wanting the content deleted]. Best, [Name]"

If the post is illegal, you can ditch manners in favor of explaining the post's illegality, though you may instead want to contact an attorney to do the work for you.

Never threaten legal action if the content that you want to remove isn't illegal to post. In the email's main text box, politely request that the webmaster remove the post from their website.

7 Send your email. Once you've proofread and confirmed your email, send it to the webmaster. You should expect to hear back from within a few days to a couple of weeks.
