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.

Yes. They are located on Cheney reservoir, south of Wichita, Kansas. Are all US datacenters now located underwater? :confused:

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 wondered about that, but just wasn't sure.

Who else did that for stackoverflow.com immediately after Code Project?
They are not located in a lake. They used to show in the centroid of an area which happened to be a hapless person who did not even have an internet connection. Nonetheless, angry people would show up at his/her house threatening them since the website that stole their credit card was shown to reside at his/her house. The location service was forced to pin unknown locations to bodies to save the innocent people from harassment.

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: )

The biggest surprise when I put mine in was that sometime in the last few years my hosting company apparently switched from LightSpeed HTTPD to Apache. Doesn't affect anything I do, on the web end I've never used it as more than a file share; the account primarily exists to let me run a bouncer for my IRC connection with bottom tier shared hosting as a dirt cheap addon. If I were to do anything serious with it I'd switch to .net hosting of some sort; but I don't think I've even got a line of javascript on it currently never mind php or whatever penguin stack the hosting company installed in its default deploy.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

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!

Do you know how sub-domains work? I believe this is brilliant, not at all creepy.
