Earlier we saw how to check the subdomains under a domain name and today we are going to see how to find other domain names hosted on a web server. We need Command Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (OS X) and Bing to find other domains hosted on a web server.
How This Process Works?
Normally all the servers have a unique IP Address, so if a website is hosted on that, it’ll have the same (more or less) the same IP address. This is similar for all the websites hosted under it. So we should be finding the IP address of the main website.
Finding The IP Address
We can easily convert domain name into IP Address with the help of Command Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (OS X). I used Terminal for determining the IP address of “slashsquare.org”.
Use this command
ping slashsquare.org
And you get the IP address (207.7.90.59) there! Now copy that IP address and go to Bing.com.
Use Bing To Find Other Domains Hosted
Use this search query or type the one shown below:
IP:207.7.90.59
That’s it. Now you can get the list of domain names under the same IP address. Now go and experiment with various domain names, you’ll be surprised to see the results.
Helpful in knowing if there are any spam sites in your server 🙂 Handy trick.
