How to Find Who Hosts a Website

Use DNS and network information to identify likely website infrastructure.

Quick Answer

Look up the domain's DNS records and IP address, then identify the network/provider associated with that address.

Step by Step

  1. Find the domain's A/AAAA records.
  2. Note the returned IP address.
  3. Look up the IP network/provider information.
  4. Compare it with the domain's nameservers and known CDN/proxy services.
  5. Treat the result as infrastructure evidence rather than guaranteed proof of the origin host.

If That Doesn't Work

  • Cloudflare and other reverse proxies can hide the origin server.
  • A domain registrar, DNS provider, CDN, and web host can all be different companies.
