dumb question, but how were you finding their datacenter?

traceroute is a good starting point. Sometimes I have to try a couple different datacenters until I hit <4ms ping time. Sometimes I just ask the datacenter is website x is hosted there.
The easiest way is usually to run a 'whois' on the IP of the server (not the domain).
