Server software & version (Apache, nginx, LiteSpeed)

How the hosting check works

4 steps to a complete hosting profile

  1. 1 Step 1

    Enter the URL

    Submit the address of any website – including competitors or potential clients.

  2. 2 Step 2

    Run the hoster detection

    We analyse DNS, server headers, IP range and reverse DNS to identify the responsible hoster.

  3. 3 Step 3

    Review the infrastructure

    You see hoster name, server location, IP, PHP version, web server and additional technical details.

  4. 4 Step 4

    Use the insights

    Apply the data for competitor research, migration planning or performance comparisons.

What does the hoster tell me about a website?

The hoster reveals more than just a company name: it hints at expected performance, server location, scalability and even the operator's budget. A site on Kinsta or WP Engine signals high speed requirements – a site on a generic shared-hosting plan suggests a cost-optimised build.

For GDPR matters the hoster is critical too. With a server inside the EU (e.g. Hetzner Falkenstein or IONOS Karlsruhe), many third-country risks fall away. With AWS, Google Cloud or Cloudflare you need data processing agreements and proper location choices to avoid Schrems II issues.

For competitor research the hoster is an excellent indicator: it shows whether a competitor invests in performance, opts for managed hosting or picks budget solutions – data you could otherwise only infer indirectly from page-speed metrics.

Hosting check – analyze host and server

Who hosts this website? Find out with one click

With the InspectWP hosting check you can find out in seconds which provider is behind a website, which server software is running, which PHP version is in use, and where the server is geographically located. Perfect when you want to know whether a competitor is on a US-based provider, whether an agency uses AWS or Hetzner – or whether your own site really moved after a migration.

Who hosts this website – fast, accurate and for any domain

Our tool combines DNS resolution, IP lookup, server headers and CDN fingerprinting to identify the actual host of any website. Even behind Cloudflare or other CDNs we recognize typical server signatures, so you not only see the CDN provider but also the underlying hosting platform whenever the website leaves traces.

Frequently asked hosting check questions

Everything you need to know about host detection

InspectWP requests the domain, resolves the IP via DNS, analyzes HTTP response headers (Server, X-Powered-By, X-Hosted-By) and matches IP ranges and header signatures against a database of well-known hosts and CDN providers. In most cases the provider can be identified unambiguously.
