Hello,

Usually when we have a domain of some web site, such as webhostingtalk.com, we can look it up through WHOIS and know which registrar is managing that domain. But it is not certain that the web site is also hosted on the same company.

As far as I know, WHOIS can only provide information regarding domains. Please correct if I am wrong.

So, how do you determine which hosting company is hosting for a particular web site? Is there an assured way? I am thinking about IP reverse loop up…

What do you think?
