Hosting Checker - Find out where any website is hosted
hosting-checker.net
external-link
Check the hosting infrastructure of any website. Find out where a website is hosted and what hosting infrastructure is used for webserver, nameservers and mailservers.

I’m not sure about the results.

ard.de (German national TV) is a wild mix of EU and US

france.tv too

polish national TV is proudly EU

swedish national TV is mixed

and swedish government is even more mixed

Can this be right?

    Nope, not useful at all. Any large enough site it gonna use cloudflare or another proxy/cache/CDN, so that sites results are completely useless.

    I use the Firefox extension FlagFox to see where websites are hosted.

    The company I work for is American. We have European data centers. Vice versa I have multiple friends who have worked at a French company that has data centers here in the United States.
