Who Is Hosting This is a web tool that enables you to find out who is hosting any website. Simply submit the website domain name, and you will get a link to the website’s hosting provider. That’s easy!

If you use the tool often, web browser search bookmarklet and plugins are available.

How does it work?

WhoIsHostingThis is not mystery as it seems to be. Basically, it checks the IP address of the domain name then check the owner of that IP range and return a link to the IP range owner (hosting provider).

Therefore, the result might not 100% accurate if the hosting company does not own that IP range. Or, you will get the website is same as hosting provider if the website bought an IP range and is self-hosted (e.g. Google).

Have you discover any interesting result? :)

    @iCalvyn: I think Exabytes has own servers and put in TM NET’s data centre. TM NET owns the IP range.
