Tool to Find Out Who is Hosting any Website

Ads

Saad Hamid on July 7, 2007

Long ago it was virtually impossible for one to locate the web host of a particular blog or site. The point to ponder upon is that why exactly would one feel the need to locate the web host of a particular site or blog. The answer to this is clear and simple that one can feel the need to locate the web host of a blog in case if he wants to buy the hosting or contact the web host for some legal copyright issues or even something else and to do this we have a very great tool available online.

Find Out Who is Hosting any Website

Whoishostingthis is a tool available online that will find out who is hosting any web site. Just type in the domain and you'll get a link to the company that's hosting this particular domain. There is also a firefox and Internet explorer 7 plugin of the tool which will do the same job for you.

WhoisHostingThis Goodies

WhoisHostingthis has a top lists section that shows the top web hosting providers that came up most often for your requests, during the last day. This can be helpful to find out which hosting solutions are the best and most used. There is also a tag cloud which tells you about the most recent and most popular queries.

@Shankar: I’m one of the authors of this tool. I can’t tell you the exact manner in which our tool works; but I can tell you that it’s not a matter of simply retrieving this info from some database. Rather, we use several databases, get chunks of information, then do some simple research to find out the host. It’s not 100% accurate but it’s the best I’ve seen. (:

Though this does sound useful on the outside, this basically lists only the end service providers of the hosting. For, example if company A rents servers from a provider and hosts many sites, only the provider is shown. This is useless as many more resellers would host their servers at the provider.
The better way would be to do a query using dnsstuff.com and looking at the nameservers as they are more accurate.

Vijay You have made a very nice point there. I too noticed this that the tool actually points to the base company and not the actual resellers. But even in that case the tool is no doubt unique in its kind and very useful for the web masses.

I must admit this tool is great, I stopped developing mine, when I found it… http://www.who-hosts.com

Vincent Man your tool is as interesting as this one. I think you shouldn’t give up and should continue the development. It may turn out to be better and more helpful.

Thanks for your support. I might finish it when I have some time but it’s not my priority anymore since it’s now undiggable, yet very hard to promote …

I agree with you there but I don’t think Digging your site is the last option to promote it. I recently launched a service called iBlogStats which gained quite good traffic a but was never Dugg.

I must say I really liked your site and a little more improvement to its design can help the site gain more popularity over the Internet.

I had forgotten the URL of this tool and Googled. Found your site to be the most relevant- you must be doing good SEO, or google is rewarding your writing skills. which one is it?

Well I haven’t done any seo yet for this website (I’m working on some improvements and hired a designer), and it’ll be my first try in english seo (my other websites are in french) so I guess it’s going to be very difficult.

TechZilo Perhaps I will take the one you suggested first

Finally did it and added some decent design to who-hosts
