Who is hosting this?

Who is hosting this? is an appropriately named service which is focusing on a single task, and does it flawlessly: finding the real hosting company behind a domain or a Web site.
Finding the hosting for a Web site might seem like a simple task, but many times all it will do is find a reseller who uses some other company’s resources to host their clients. This tool, while very simple and straightforward at the front end, is using a number of pretty advanced technologies and hacks to discover the actual owner of the servers hosting a site.
Recently, this service has been integrated into the BuiltWith service, and there is an open API in the works.
