    Checking if this Hoster is a Reseller?

    Hello,

    Is there a way to check a Hoster reseller or not ?

    Thanks

    Yes! Firstly, ask them. If they are an honest company they will tell you, if they say no and you still don't believe them, get your server name/IP address and do a reverse domain check and see how many domains are hosted on that server. Try this service: http://www.majesticseo.com/research/...checker.php?d=

    On the right when you look it up you will see the entire IP field. If you see something like 10-100 thousands websites then unless they are a massive company..they are a reseller. If not, then they either have a good dedicated IP address or they are telling the truth!

    Lastly, do a Reverse DNS lookup on their IP address. It will give a hostname for the IP, if it is host.hostgator.com then that should answer your question .

    Thats all I can think of .

    With a good number of hosts that won't work, as reseller hosting providers use anonymous domains to shield their resellers from this sort of checks. In some cases, it's very hard to make the link between the host and that domain.

    intodns.com can help as the host might (unintentionally) leave clues in SOA records etc.
