Hosting refers to the service of placing files on a server or remote computer that has uninterrupted access to the Internet. Today, the word "hosting" is also called Internet companies that provide such services, mainly for hosting sites on the network.
Instructions
Step 1
Different companies also provide completely different types of hosting with a set of options required for specific needs. The more CMS (content management system) requires options, disk space, traffic, protection, the more expensive site content is for the administrator (site creator). Most often, hosting is paid for once a month. You can try to find out the hosting company on the servers of which a particular site is located by the records in DNS and WHOIS (by which organization the IP belongs). To do this, you need to find a detailed WHOIS service that determines the parameters of the site. The site whois-service.ru is a good example.
Step 2
Go to https://whois-service.ru and on the main page in the field "Enter the desired domain name" write the address of the site about which you want to know the information, then press the "Enter" key. You will see below the information about the domain. The "nserver" fields contain NS addresses. They belong to hosting centers. So, the address ns1.ihc.ru means that the site is hosted by IHC (ihc.ru), and the address ns1.logol.ru indicates that the site is hosted by Logol (logol.ru), and so on
Step 3
If you did not find the information you need in the NS addresses, or hosting at such an address simply does not exist, click on the “ip lookup” link in the header of whois-service.ru, or go to https://whois-service.ru/lookup/. After that, repeat the same thing: enter the address of the studied site in a special line and press “Enter.” You will see complete information about the IP address that is associated with the domain. This IP is provided by the hosting. In the line “descr” you will find the legal name of the company providing the virtual site for the site. By entering the name into any search engine, for example google.ru or yandex.ru, you will find on the first page of the search the site of the hosting company on which the site is located.
