Extension summary
Although answering a question like “who is hosting my website” seems simple enough – after all, you were the one buying that server space – there are some details you might not be aware of:
One of the facts of the hosting market is that not all hosting companies manage their own servers. In other words, although you might have bought your hosting setup from one company, that company might be leasing their server space from someone else.
Quite commonly in today’s market, cloud hosting companies like DigitalOcean, Vultr, Amazon AWS, or Google Cloud rent their server space to other operators. Those operators then resell the servers to their own clients.
Our hosting checker tool tells you if that’s the case with your host.
