This link gives some detail information about where a website is located at.
http://whois.domaintools.com/ But why would you want to know where websites are hosting on? Althought I can fathom a guess, just call it curosity. |

What exactly do you mean to ask by where is a web site hosted? The country?
If you want to do that, use the site mentioned by ginginca. Follow these steps: 1) Goto dnsstuff.com 2) Write the domain name in the Ping form and ping the domain 3) When you get the ping response, you will see the IP of the domain name. 4) Then copy that IP and put it in City from IP form. There you go. Anyway, site cracks.am is located in UK. cracks.lomalka.ru is located in Amsterdam |

Man I know how to find the location of the server using IP address but what I need is a way to find exactly which web host they are using.Most web hosts probably don't offer hosting to warez and such sites so I just want to know...where they are hosted ?

You should be able to figure out that by having a look at the nameservers used by that domain name. If the host's address is host.com, they will probably have ns1.host.com or something similar. For example, ns1.smth-host.com is also an option.
The link saint-michael gave you provides you with more detail, but might also provide you with the "end" provider, not necessarily the "real" one. Here's what I'm trying to say: if the host is just a reseller, http://whois.domaintools.com/ will give you the host THEY are using. |

OK.I think looking at the name servers will work so I typed in www.neowin.net to the search box and got the page containing results in that...
There the name server is listed as fllows : NS1.NEOWIN.NET NS2.NEOWIN.NET Does that mean it is hosted by them on thier servers it self? http://whois.domaintools.com/neowin.net This post has been edited by knight17: Oct 30 2006, 08:20 PM |

it means that they are either hosted by themselves or they are in a dns loop which mens that they have pointed those two nameservers of the domain to and ip and then set those nameservers as their default dns names, i do that it a bit more professional. The thing your a looking for is called a WHOIS search
WHOIS: QUOTE WHOIS databases contain nameserver, registrar, and in some cases, full contact information about a domain name. Each registrar must maintain a WHOIS database containing all contact information for the domains they 'host'. A central registry WHOIS database is maintained by the InterNIC. This database contains only registrar and nameserver information for all .com, .net and .org domains. (quote taken from google)
