What a website's IP address tells you
- The network (ASN): the company that owns the IP block, which is usually the host or the data center it rents from.
- Reverse DNS: the server's own name, which often includes the host's brand.
- CDN or not: if the IP belongs to Cloudflare, Fastly or Akamai, you're seeing a proxy, not the real server.
Why one site can have several IPs
Large sites use several servers or a CDN that answers from the nearest location, so you may see multiple IPv4 (A) and IPv6 (AAAA) addresses. Shared hosting puts hundreds of sites on one IP, so a single IP doesn't mean a dedicated server.
How to find a website's IP yourself
Run nslookup example.com or ping example.com in a terminal. This tool adds the network owner, country and reverse DNS for each address.
FAQ
How do I find the IP address of a website?
Enter the domain above. We look up its A (IPv4) and AAAA (IPv6) records and show who owns each address.
Can I find the real IP of a site behind Cloudflare?
Not from public DNS: Cloudflare shows its own IPs to hide the origin. Sometimes subdomains like mail. or cpanel. aren't proxied and reveal the server.
Does an IP address show where a website is hosted?
It shows the network and usually the country of the server. Combined with reverse DNS and headers, our hosting checker turns that into the hosting company.
Is it legal to look up a website's IP?
Yes. A website's IP address is public by design: every browser that visits the site looks it up.
CHANGING HOSTS?
DNS is where most migrations go wrong. Follow the hosting switch checklist, lower your TTL a day before, and use the propagation checker after the switch. Comparing new hosts? See real renewal prices.
