Find out newsgroup hosting server and other detailed info

Hello,

this might be an OT but I am very interested to know method how to find
out where is certain newsgroup hosted physically and other vital
information like for instance who is the administrator and what
organization or individual owns and maintains the newsgroup.

Is this detailed info possible to get ?

Your question shows that you don't understand at all how Usenet
newsgroups work. There is no single place where a newsgroup is "hosted
physically", the system is completely distributed. Alternatively, you
could say a group is hosted by every NNTP server that carries it.
A newsgroup has no administrators, owners or maintainers. See:

There are however many Usenet newsgroups which have moderators.
