Hod do I find out the IP adress of a web site?

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: matt.modica

I was wondering how to find out the IP adress of a web site, specificly www.badgerbadgerbadger.com. I pinged that web site with the command prompt, but when I entered the IP adress (70.87.114.162) it gave me into internet explorer, I got a "cPanel" page saying there was no page configgured at the adress. Suggestions?

PS: I am not going to hack the web site or anything, I just want to know why I can type the IP adress of google (72.14.207.99) into the adress bar and have it work, but not have it work here.

Not every website has its own IP address. Sometimes a webspace provider will host multiple sites on one server and one IP address. If you try to go to that IP address, you'll get an error, but the domain itself is setup to go to the correct place on that server.

Is there any way I can get it so that I can enter an IP adress and go to that site?

You would have to know the subdomain. Something like 70.87.114.162/badger

More often than not, however - if you host your website - it'll share a subnet with other sites - but will own its own ip..

Quickest way to figure out which IP address is resolved from the DNS name is to open a command line and

ping domain.name.com

to find out all IP info and NS server info..

C:>nslookup
> set query=all
>domainname.com

As per example below:

> set query=all
> yahoo.ca
Server: ace.atsana.com
Address: 10.0.50.10

Non-authoritative answer:
yahoo.ca internet address = 66.218.71.198
yahoo.ca nameserver = ns1.yahoo.com
yahoo.ca nameserver = ns2.yahoo.com
yahoo.ca nameserver = ns3.yahoo.com
yahoo.ca nameserver = ns5.yahoo.com
yahoo.ca nameserver = ns7.yahoo.com
yahoo.ca
primary name server = hidden-master.yahoo.com
responsible mail addr = hostmaster.yahoo-inc.com
serial = 2006061201
refresh = 3600 (1 hour)
retry = 900 (15 mins)
expire = 604800 (7 days)
default TTL = 600 (10 mins)
yahoo.ca MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = mx1.mail.yahoo.com
yahoo.ca MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = mx3.mail.yahoo.com
yahoo.ca MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = mx2.mail.yahoo.com
yahoo.ca MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = mx4.mail.yahoo.com
yahoo.ca text =

"Yahoo! Inc."
yahoo.ca ??? unknown type 29 ???

ns1.yahoo.com internet address = 66.218.71.63
ns2.yahoo.com internet address = 66.163.169.170
ns3.yahoo.com internet address = 217.12.4.104
ns5.yahoo.com internet address = 216.109.116.17
ns7.yahoo.com internet address = 68.142.226.82
