WHOISHOSTINGTHIS.COM

WhoIsHostingThis.com is a webmaster tool that lets you discover which web host any website uses. Most webmaster tools struggle with this one simple question: who really hosts a website? For example, NetCraft.com might give you the impression that HostGator.com is hosted by The Planet. Obviously it's not - it's hosted by HostGator! - but they rent space in The Planet's datacenter range. Knowing the real web host is invaluable if you need to issue a DMCA complaint, libel papers or report ... a DDoS attack as a matter of urgency. WhoIsHostingThis.com uses multiple data sources to provide more accurate results, as well as providing [reviews of web hosting brands](http://www.whoishostingthis.com.com/hosting-reviews), [hosting comparison tool](http://www.whoishostingthis.com.com/compare/) and a [DMCA takedown service](http://www.whoishostingthis.com.com/dmca/). The tool has been featured in the [New York Times](http://gadgetwise.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/04/24/how-to-find-the-right-web-hosting-service/), [LifeHacker](http://lifehacker.com/5130019/whoishostingthis-reveals-website-hosting-providers) and [Download Squad](http://www.downloadsquad.com/2008/02/02/web-toolkit-find-out-a-sites-web-host-with-whoishostingthis/). It is also used by the UK government and the Association of Chief Police Officers in the UK for tracking down website hosts.More
