    Not that easy.. you should probably audit accounting records.. but
    I would say check httpd.conf, or whatever the main config file for
    their webserver is.. likely you would find them in there. If it is
    apache, you could use something like this:

    grep 'ServerName' <file> > tmp

    then: pico tmp

    Once in pico, hit ctrl-c .. *shrug*.. that will tell you how many
    lines are in the file.. should be one (or more) for each domain
    name..

    Again.. I would recommend you go by income / accounting records, not
    by webserver config.. that can be easily configured for anything the
    isp wants to configure it for.. it doesn't mean the domain name is
    actually hosted their.. you'd have to whois them all to verify that.

    Good Luck :)
