French term or phrase: On vous héberge chez XXXX?
From a video-clip:

Immediately after explaining the wonders of SSL certificates, the person goes on to ask:

« Alors et vous? On vous héberge chez XXXX?»

[where XXXX is the web hosting company]

I get what's he's saying but can't think of a nice, concise way of rendering this in En.

neutral  Michael Davies: This turns the sentence around a bit compared to the source test expression.

  -> No, it doesn't. It's just another way of expressing the sentence, albeit, somewhat more precisely. Actually, asking who is your web host is more usual than saying I'm hosted by XXX company.
