Finding out who is the host

[vegas]

How I find who is the host of an ip address?

 

[bunnykins]

https://www.arin.net/ is probably your best bet.

Or check
http://whois.domaintools.com/

It will give you all the info you need about the IP address.

I tend to start with http://network-tools.com/ and get whois information about the domain and some more information about the IP. Then, depending on what part of the world that IP belong in, I'll continue on either www.arin.net or www.ripe.net and work my way from there.

If it's a website, you can just use whoishostingthis.com

 

[edgevm]

bgp.he.net is also a good website to learn more about the network of the host.

 

[storminternet]

http://centralops.net/co/ is one of the good tool to investigate the IP addresses and domains.

http://dnsstuff.fastnext.com WHOIS lookup helps to determine the hosting provider by the server ip address.

 

[GCSolutions]

this one provides good info as well-> http://www.intodns.com/

You can use http://who-hosts.com for a general idea but the best way to find the actual server provider / colocation you can search the IP at http://arin.net (if the IP is within US) or http://ripe.net (if the IP is within EU) and look up the handles

try dnsstuff.com -- we've been using it for years and they have a good set of tools at an economical cost + free trials (i think).

WHOIS the domain then when you get the IP go and check the IP information over at arin.net if the site is in America or US then if not you can check the IP information over at this site ripe.net

Most times this is the way for a person to check where a site is hosted and who the provider is. Clever way to be nosy.

Does nobody here use a Linux command line??:uhh:

whois
dig
traceroute
ping
host
nslookup
nmap

Correct use of these commands will tell you anything you need to know without the need of third party websites.

Why look for a Linux box when those commands will work in Windows too?

But seriously, some of the websites will do all or many of those in a single submission and present the results in a nice report

It's novel approach but you could try "asking" the host. Some smaller players don't want to admit that they're resellers of others but truth be told there is no shame in being a reseller or leasing a server from someone else.

 

[vanixhosting]

Whois, traceroute, ip lookup, arin and intodns.com

 

[vegas]

uh thank you for all this devices ,now Im trying them

 

[Shine Servers]

Even you may try an plugin for Chrome :- PageRank Status , it works good though.

Trace route would also usually give you the answer to this question 0

You can check the whois and determine the nameservers/DNS, that may help - unless the DNS are private.
