What's the address to that site that shows who hosts a site? →[More:]Not long ago there was a launch of a website that will tell you who hosts any site you type in. The site was very simple, I believe the background was blue and there was a large textbox to type the URL in. I can't find it. Anybody?

Are you thinking of WhoIs?

No, I know how to run a whois... it's a really simple site that just tells you who hosts any site you type in. Like if I typed in my website, it would tell me (Site X) is hosted by Bluehost.com.

I thought I had bookmarked it, but due to some confusion when my old laptop died and switching to a new one, I guess I lost it somewhere along the way.

It may have been covered by TechCrunch or Lifehacker, but my previous searches didn't find it... I'll try those 2 again, and if I find it I'll post, but if someone else knows, please share!

Netcraft is also very useful.
