The Dead Spammers Society

Day in the life of Abuse Desk Operators.

I have received several emails asking me how how to find the hosting provider for a domain. This is really simple once you have the Internet Protocal (IP) Address. The easiest way to find out the owner of the IP address is to use the American Registry for Internet Numbers. Using the example domain of spamsuite.com, if you will remember from How Do I Find The IP Address of a Domain? it had the IP address of 66.211.39.18 go to Arin.net.

Arin will tell you that the 66.211.39.18 is owned by:

arin-300x156 Who is the provider of that IP Address?

It’s that simple. If you have any questions please ask.

    I’ve had some trouble with sploggers scraping the content from my blog feed, so I’m thrilled to have this information. Thanks for sharing it with us!

    Hey, I came back for that link ’cause I got pinged by another splogger. Just wanted to let ya know that Arin link doesn’t work for me now. :-)

    Hi Michele,
    Turns out that link likely never worked. I wrote the post in a word processor that changes the double quote mark to something else, and I forgot to change it back when I posted it. :-( Anyways it is working now.
