How to find out Where Your Favorite Blogs are Hosted

August 10, 2007

I’m one of those people that read a blog or web site with a lot of readers and ask myself, “I wonder who their hosting provider is?” I also do this for sites that are really slow, or seem to be down often.

I just don’t think there is any better recommendation for a hosting provider than a fast loading, responsive site that is always available.

Now, I can occupy myself for hours looking up the hosting providers for my favorite sites with “Who is Hosting this?”.

The site is really straightforward, you enter the domain name that you want to learn about, and click on “tell me”. The site comes back with the hosting provider, conveniently linked so you can check them out.

Unlike some other web based tools out there, Who is hosting this isn’t covered in ads. There are some ads, but I’ve seen some web tools that have so many ads, sometimes I have trouble finding the tool.

No need to look Port 16 up, I use Bluehost.com, and love it.
