Is there a way of identifying the ISP of a website?
If I visited a website, would I be able to find out who the ISP was from the site?

If not then is there another way to find it from the site URL?

Thanks

If you get a program like Neotrace (made by NeoWorqs). When you type in the URL... It will give you a graphical presentation. If you right click on the last node... It will tell you how is hosting the website...

There are a couple of websites that will do this for you also... Unfornatly, I don't have the URL's handy..

Yes, the easiest way is to goto www.networksolutions.com and on the home page (Right hand side near the top), click on WHOIS. There, you can enter the URL (Without the WWW), and it will look up the information on the site.

You will see the name of the ADMINISTRATIVE contact, (Usually, but not necessarily the owner), the TECHNICAL contact, (Usually the ISP), and the BILLING contact (Probably someone in the owners facility).

You will also get the NICKNAME of each of these people, and some times, get even more information.

Hope this helps
