Sample output

A complete fingerprint, on one page.

Each row below comes from a separate probe running in parallel, then merged into one fingerprint.

  • Hosting + ASN derived from reverse-IP and BGP data.
  • CDN, CMS and email host matched against a curated signature library.
  • WHOIS / RDAP, TLS chain and HTTP timing in a single call.

Reading on hosting, DNS and the stack.

How it works

No tricks. Just careful, parallel inspection.

01

Resolve

DNS lookup against authoritative resolvers — A, AAAA, NS, MX. Cached for one hour.

02

Probe

TLS handshake, HTTP fetch, RDAP query and IP enrichment run in parallel under a one-second budget.

03

Fingerprint

Match response headers, body markers and meta tags against a curated CDN, CMS and email-provider library.

FAQ

Common questions

How do you detect which hosting provider a website uses?

We resolve the domain to its IP address, then map that IP to the owning network using ASN and reverse-IP data. That reveals the datacenter or cloud provider behind the site — even when it sits behind a CDN. Results are heuristic but cross-checked against a curated signature library.

Is HostingChecker free?

Yes. Anonymous visitors get 3 lookups per day; a free account raises that to 50 per day. No credit card required.

What does a check reveal?

Hosting provider and ASN, IP (v4/v6), nameservers and DNS records, CDN/WAF, SSL/TLS certificate, HTTP server headers, CMS/framework, email provider, plus security-header, email-authentication (SPF/DKIM/DMARC) and IP-reputation signals.

Do you store the domains I check or my IP address?

Public checks may appear in the recent-checks feed (with privacy filtering) and are purged after a retention window. Your IP is used only for rate limiting. Result pages are noindex and excluded from search engines.

Why does a site show Cloudflare instead of the real host?

When a site is fronted by a CDN like Cloudflare, the visitor-facing IP belongs to the CDN, not the origin host. We label this clearly — the reverse-IP and ASN still point at the CDN, and origin detection is not always possible by design.
