Hosting company lookup

Ever wondered what company was providing a web hosting account, dedicated server, co-location or virtual server to one of your favourite sites? Maybe their hosting plans suit your web space needs at low costs or provide the perfect server for your web hosting reseller business thus shortcutting your search.

First find the IP address the site's domain name resolves to, which is easily accomplished using the Unix host command like "host hostmag.blogspot.com" then run the following Unix whois command "whois 66.102.15.101". Here are the results for this sample query:

OrgName: Google Inc.
OrgID: GOGL
Address: 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway
City: Mountain View
StateProv: CA
PostalCode: 94043
Country: US

Et voila, Google hosts Host Mag!
