Who Is Hosting This?

March 30, 2008

Well, this is for the webmasters out there. Are you looking for a webhost? And what is the kind of speed and performance do you expect from your webhost? I am sure that a lot of webmasters thinking of getting a new webhost would fear that the performance of their new webhost may not be able to handle the load. Well, what better way to find a solid and stable web host than to check out how the other websites being hosted by the same service provider is doing? For example, perhaps you think of a website which seems very fast and responsive, but do you know how is hosting the site? Well, you can make use of Who Is Hosting This (WSHT) to find out.

It is a simple program which helps you find out who is hosting the site in question. Key in the URL of the website and they will tell you who is hosting the site. Simple as that. Although I have discovered that a lot of the web host normally will lease or co-lease a line or is a reseller from some major Internet Service Provider or Data Center, so WSHT will not give you the actual webhost company but they will only tell you the Date Center. So in this case, you are out of luck. However, all is not lost, you can try to do a “whois” and from the information provider, see who is the actual webhost. You can get the necessary information from the DNS or by the registration information provided by whois.

Try it. You will find it very simple and convenient to use. And you should start doing your own research on your next web host now if you are not satisfied with your current one.
