How to Find Out Who is Hosting ANY Website

 image

If you need to do some research on selecting a new web host, it’s always good to have a look around web hosting web sites to get a feel for who’s good, and who’s not.  Just do a quick search and you’ll stumble upon many, many websites which offer ratings, and more importantly - user reviews.

Another approach to take, would be to find a website which you’d like to model - then just find out what they use for themselves…  Whoishostingthis.com is one quick way to do it… just type in the website you want to check and it will gives you the host details for any particular website.

Note to bloggers who are testing this out with their own site, and find that it doesn’t match:

Most likely it’s one of these two reasons: either the web site you requested changed their hosting provider *very* recently, or the hosting provider for this particular domain is just a reseller from a bigger hosting provider, and their results show the *real* provider instead of the reseller.

      Another nice find. Although it’s a ‘unitasker’, it’s worthy of a bookmark.
