This is sort of creepy...

Basically, appending "abc.com" to any domain name causes the DNS to resolve "abc.com" first, and the rest becomes a subdomain - which the IPaddress domain uses to ID the domain you want to know about. That's no more creepy than appending my landline number to your mobile number: the telephone system would ring my number and I'd pick up your mobile from the remaining tones (assuming I answered in time). Handy, if you want the public info on a site : the visitor percentages by country are interesting!

I guess the creepyness lies in the amount of details about the CP traffic that is collected and presented by this "service".
It's all public - there are a number of people who provide it, if the domain is ranked high enough: internet site traffic statistics - Google Search[^] (My domain just gets host location and so forth, which surprises me not at all :laugh: )

Append ".ipaddress.com" to any domain name, and depending on the site, you get a bunch of information. Mainly useless information that you can't get anywhere else, but there's something creepy about adding ".ipaddress.com" to any domain name. For example: codeproject.com.ipaddress.com[^] :~

Really? I would assume that the phone system would dial the first 10 digits and ignore the rest. For example, dialing 1-87-SPEEDPASS would only acknowledge 1-87-SPEEDPA and ignore the last two SS. Or maybe I completely misunderstood your comment.

well yeah, as OG mentioned he'd hear the tones "if picked up hast enough" - probably would miss almost all of it unless you have superhuman reflexes and the exchange links the connections fast enough. (i.e. those tones would be sent during the ringing time) same as if you dial someone and while talking to them start pressing the number buttons - you hear the button tones. (think helplines: "press '1' for English, '2' for Chinese ... '9' for go away") but even helplines would miss the first numbers if appended to the dialed phone number (before pressing call) ...the exchange end-to-end connection completion on receiving party pickup takes a while, even the new exchanges there's still some milliseconds in there.

International dialling uses more than the 10 digits used in the US. For example, to dial an international number, I have to dial an international access code (2-3 digits), the country code (1-3 digits), an the national number (7-10 digits), for a total of 10-16 digits.

I like the way you worded this... "add .ipaddres.com" implies somehow that this is 'built into domain names magically', or some other mystical way of working. rather than, visit ipaddress.com, and search for your domain. Or go to the subdomain .ipaddress.com . Genius.
