Whois

How can you find out what company is hosting a particular website, (if they don't already reference it in the site itself)?

I tried sam spade, and a couple of other whois sites, but none of them could find this url - no matches found.

Any insight would be splendid thankyou.

I usually use http://www.networksolutions.com/whois/index.jsp ...

I usually use www.netcraft.com to do a banner grab for me, as well as WHOIS query. ;) Cheers, cn22

I'm partial to whois.sc


whois.sc/company.com

whois.sc/antionline etc.

Try www.dnsstuff.com

And ping the URL to pick up the ip address. A whois on an ip address will often yield who does the actual hosting vs. who owns the name.
