However, there are several ways to determine where a website is hosted, including using online tools that perform IP address✉️ or domain name lookups or checking the website's DNS records. If you have the website's domain name, you can also perform a WHOIS lookup to find information about the website's registrar and hosting provider.

Hosting is comprised of a variety of different services. And although it is possible to have all your hosting services through a single company, it isn't uncommon to see a site have each of its hosting services provided through several hosting companies.

  1. Domain Registration with GoDaddy

  4. Your CDN with CloudFlare

  5. Your email hosting with G Suite (Google)

4. FIREWALLS AND CDNS : If your site is using a firewall or CDN (Content Delivery Network), the A-record that appears may be different from your actual web host. This is because when you activate a CDN change, it will typically require you to change your A-records.
