This tip will help to check How many websites are being hosted on a Web server base on its IP Address. You need to give IP Address of a certain web server, it will show a list of domains/websites are on the same web server.
There are some reasons to find all neighbors of a website:
- 1. Your website is on a shared hosting environment and it’s running so slow. That is obviously caused by other heavy websites impact the server performance. And you need to know: How many of them and Who they are?
- 2. You’re researching in advance about your competitor. From my experience, there are a lot of online campaigns/websites of popular brands and big websites are hosted on a dedicated server. And you want to check out Which websites are running and How are they relate to your competitor.
- 3. Search engine may ban a particular IP Address if it is mapped to a web server that hosts spam or porn websites. Therefore you need to choose another hosting provider and move your site immediately if it’s hosted along with bad sites.
