    I like the digitalpoint tools, and find them useful, but i think you should add a web hosting look up tool. That would be very useful.

    it is a tool where you can put in a domain name and it will tell you what company hosts the site. I am not aware of one, but i think it would be a great thing to have.

    It wouldn't be entirely accurate because so many sites have front-end proxies like CloudFlare (including this one). So it would be tough to know who the real backend host actually is for a very large percent of sites.

    Just out of curiosity, why are you looking for such a tool?
