Who hosts this website?
Enter a domain and see who serves its DNS, where its mail goes, and whose servers its addresses belong to. DNS lookups only.
What the result shows
- The DNS provider and the nameservers
- Where email for the domain is delivered
- The site's addresses and the network they belong to
Read-only: the same lookups a browser or a mail server makes, nothing changed, nothing stored beyond ten minutes. What Stackbrace asks for.
How do I find out who hosts a website?
Its DNS records say where the name points, and the network that owns those addresses is usually the host or the firewall in front of it. The nameservers say who runs the DNS, which is often the registrar or Cloudflare rather than the host. This tool reads all three.
Why does it say Cloudflare?
When a site sits behind Cloudflare or another CDN, its public addresses belong to them and the real server is hidden. The DNS provider and the mail records still tell you a lot; the host itself is in the account that set Cloudflare up.
What else do I need when I take over a site?
Who holds the login for each of those layers: the registrar, the DNS, the hosting, the backups and the site itself. That is the record Stackbrace keeps for every site you look after, and asks you to fill in.
Every day, not just today
Stackbrace records all of this for every site, keeps it dated, and alerts you when the nameservers or the registrar change. Start free with one site.
