Enter a domain name or URL to find out who hosts this site:
Identifying a web host can be as easy as checking a server's hostname. But in other cases, it can be a difficult task.
Some websites hide behind a content delivery network. Others hide behind a third-party firewall.
By looking at these other components, you can find who is hosting your site most of the time:
A web server is a computer, physical or virtual, which serves websites. One or more servers can host a single website. Your computer uses an IP address to contact the web server. By looking at the registrant of the IP address, you may be able to identify the web hosting provider.
A domain's website and emails can reside on the same server. By analyzing the mail servers, you may find some hints as to who is hosting your website.
A name server acts as a "phonebook" for domain names. To get the IP address(es) of a domain, computers need to query a name server. Many DNS records other than the IP address are available. By digging through these records, you may find who your hosting provider is.
In a shared hosting environment, a single web server hosts multiple websites from different customers. This tool provides you with the list of websites hosted on the same server as yours.
Websites are sometime hosted on multiple web servers. A Content Delivery Network (or CDN) is used to achieve this. A CDN consists of several web servers spanned across the globe. This provides faster loading speed for websites. Find out the location of these servers and who is hosting them.
While a lot of domain registrant hide their personal information, you can still contact them through the registrar most of the time. You can get this information by performing a "WHOIS lookup" on any domain.
