How to find out who is hosting a Domain Name?

    I tried who.is but the site is blocked by proxy...I want to find out which hosting company a certain domain is hosted by...

    Otherwise, can anyone recommend a reliable host which can cater for 600-1200GB's a month?

    Agree once again, whois.sc is by far and away the best.

    This site offers a unix-style command line whois: www.kiraly.com/software/utilities/whois/

    It's usually faster than using a website, if you do many whois queries

    I haven't tried it, but if it's the same as the *nix version, it would be:

    Start -> Run -> Type: command or cmd

    Then:
    
    whois somesite.com
    
    Code (markup):

    Concerning hosting, I use http://www.serverpronto.com/. They've worked well for me, and have been reliable, but all the packages are unmanaged so that might be an issue.

    For such huge requirement, I would suggest you to contact www.sonataweb.net they provide real good service and support.

    You may also search google and other hosting forums for more options.

    I use the Geektools Whois windows client http://www.geektools.com/tools.php
    Running a traceroute (tracert in windows) can give you some clues. Also if you use the Netcraft tool http://uptime.netcraft.com/ it will tell you who the netblock owner is (usually the hosting company).

    For those bandwidth requirements there are some other threads around on dedicated servers. I use http://www.servermatrix.com who have a starter deal with 1200GB bandwidth.
