Won’t You be My Neighbor?

Date August 12, 2007

imageSo you finally took the plunge and got an account with a hosting provider. But you aren’t big enough yet to afford a dedicated server, or co-location, so you’re using shared hosting.

Did you ever wonder who else is on the same server?

Well “My IP Neighbors” lets you find out. Just enter in your web site’s IP address, or web site URL, and it will list off the other sites on your server, in a convenient viewing window.

When I did it, I found out there are 101 web sites, including my own, on my server. I can’t complain since Blue host has been really dependable, and I can’t beat the price or what is included with the package.

      Hey there, just visited you from your link at GITM2 blog. Great post about the shared IP address lookup. I have several sites with GoDaddy shared servers and have wondered how many other sites are on the same server. Now I know!

      Well thanks for dropping by! I was pretty amazed at how many sites were on the same server, but I can’t complain, mine has been very responsive.

      […] I also found a website that let’s you know where you’re favorite sites are hosted, as well as one to let you know who else is hosted on your shared hosting server. […]
