While browsing for a new hosting, I was curious to find out what hosting hosts the big blogger blogs. I then found a site called Who is hosting this that easily finds out who hosts a URL.
It helps you identify which hosting should you go to when your blog has reached a certain stage of maturity.
Why find out who hosts a great blogger’s blog?
Because a great blogger has been around for years and he/she must have done all the research to find out which hosting is suitable for his/her blog. Since the blog is popular (and most likely had hit the Digg’s front page in the past at least once), a good hosting service is needed to eliminate any downtime possible.
To find out who hosts a URL, simply type the URL/domain name on the search field and press the search button. For example, I peeked on who is hosting Darren’s Problogger.net:
After a visit to Logicworks, I know straight away that the hosting plan is an overkill to my tiny blog 
Nevertheless, when the time comes, you know where to look for!
I’m considering to move from LunarPages to HostGator now because HostGator has the 2 most important things that I need: a CPU usage stats on the cPanel to monitor my account’s CPU usage and it will help migrating every files & database from the old hosting to HostGator for free.

Let me know how it goes with your new host. I would like to buy from a reliable host this time around.
Will do. I’m still waiting to get a reply back from Lunarpages for a refund. Don’t think that they like the request
Hey Michael! Yeah, Who Is Hosting This is definitely a cool little site…I’ve been using it too for a few weeks, and definitely handy. They also have a Firefox search addon to make it one step: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10387
Also, I definitely agree with moving to HostGator…we’re using them now, and have a lot of sites with them…Very stable and great service. I’ve used them on client sites for several years, and we just switched back to them this year after a lot of troubles with a dedicated server on another host. Their shared hosting is faster and more reliable than our dedicated was!
Anyway, hope you’re doing well!
