Here is another tool, unlike the other tool in the previous comment we attempt to give you the resseller of the hosting, since most of the time it’s the resseller who will make the server configurations and not the physical server.

The tool works with 90% of success till now and a demo is available here:

[...] I came across a cool tool recently while reading through the everybodygoto.com weblog, which I read often by the way due to it’s fantastic information. I recommend this blog to all my readers. The tool is called Who is Hosting This? located at http://www.whoishostingthis.com. The tool let’s you see what company is hosting a particular website. All you do is enter in a domain name of the site you want to view the hosting provider on and click the “tell me” button. They not only tell you what company is hosting that site, but they give you a link to their website. So give it a try. It’s a free service. Of course it is or I would not be writing about it. [...]

While I agree this is a great idea and if it worked well it would be great. Right now though it's returning incorrect information for both the hosting companies I have. My PIMBY site is showing Dot5, when it should be IPOWER, and my Mark Miller Design site is showing Performance Service International. I'm sure that they are doing their research through an IPWhoIs search. But they might want to consider looking up the nameservers as well. My information is clearly listed through a regular WhoIs search. Like I said, it's a great idea if they considered some other references. On another note, the reason your WhoIs plugin for FireFox fails most of the time is due to the fact that most WhoIs companies limit the amount of queries in a day from an IP, and that plugin pushes all requests through the same server, so yeah...they need to rewrite that too.

Upon first reading this entry I thought… that’s kind of a novel idea, but pretty useless. But then I couldn’t help myself. I clicked the link and went over there. I spent several minutes playing on the site. Boy that is fun! If you are not happy with your current hosting provider I could see that it could be useful too.
