Code Answer: Tracking or Locating a Server online?

Is there any way you can locate the Server of a Webpage? I am wondering this in case I want make a webpage on the same server or something like that.

From serverfault Danile

You can often determine the owner or operator of a web site by using the whois command or a whois server.
```
whois example.com
```
Or try this Verisign whois server (one of many).

From Dennis Williamson
Your question is not very clear. If you want to lookup IPs you can use also use tools such as MaxMind's geographic IP location database or ARIN's whois lookup.

From Warner
You are looking for a way to know where the server is actually hosted (the actual hosting provider).

You can try this (using bash):
```
whois "$(dig +short www.codealpha.net | grep -m1 '^[0-9]')"
```
In this case, this returns
```
OrgName:    Linode
[...]
```
This can be tweaked and improved.

Here's a way to do it in a bash function:
```
#!/bin/bash

function whathost()
{
  whois "$(dig +short "$1" | grep -m1 '^[0-9]')"
}

whathost linux.com
```
Notes:

Note that some results will probably not meaningful, this is because they own the IP address and host their own server.
