    Is there a way to find where a site is hosted
    Hi Guys,
    Just wanted to know if there is a way to find out where a particular website is hosted(I mean the hosting company).
    I am trying to figure our which hosting company can handle my website based on what similar companies are using.
    Thanks

    You can try doing a whois on the site.

    Try the whois lookup on http://www.dnsstuff.com

    Need more info
    Hi Psi42,
    Thanks for the response. I think we can get the info of the domain name owner by looking up Whois.
    I was actually trying to look up what hosting company that website uses. When I go to the website http://www.dnsstuff.com/ I see a lot of things. I do not really know which lookup I need to use. Could you please help.
    Thanks

    The WHOIS at NETSOL.com lists a Technical contact which is usually someone at the web host. You can also try e-mailing [email protected]

    Thanks Scottgem
    Hello Scottgem,
    I tried doing that previously to few of the site owners but no one replied. Probably because they think I'm a direct competition for them. However I rephrased my question and emailed some website owners. Let's see if I get any positive results now.
    Thanks
