every company that has a well-managed website has a "contact us" or so option on their website's homepage. go to your web-hosting company's website, they must be having a similar option about contacting them. look for their company's e-mail address. once you have it, simply e-mail them asking about their server.\n\nanother way...\nif they are having a 'FAQ' or 'Question Answer' page on their website info about the technologies they use and the type of servers they are having would be probably there.

You could also do a service scan of the IP address to see what services are being ran on that IP address, or what domain name may be associated to that IP address.\n\nYou can do a lookup of the information about an IP address at http://www.domainwhitepages.com

Fairly simple, install Apache which is a freely available web server package (Windows and Linux) and once it is installed you can type http://127.0.0.1 in your browser and you should see the default home page.\nIf you need help in setting it up the Apache site has some excellent FAQ.\n\nOnly one thing, check that your firewall does not allow port 80 (HTTP traffic) inbound otherwise people will see your web pages, unless of course you want them to.\nYou can setup Apache to limit only local traffic to the web pages via the config file.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nCheers!

You can find out ownership of any domain at http://www.internic.net (click on WHOIS)\n\nThis should give you more information for your research - name of domain owner, operating address, etc.

You can use software such as:\n\n1. Your own web log. Ask your webhost to give you access to your web log -- you'll see the IP address, what pages they are accessing and their source traffic in real time\n\n2. Use softwares such as\n\nHBX http://www.websidestory.com/\nGoogle Analytics http://www.google.com/analytics/ (free)\nWebTrends http://www.webtrends.com/

you can find out who the IP is registered to with a reverse IP lookup, although that won't necessarily lead you to the exact computer.\nhttp://psacake.com/web/eg.asp\n\nyou can also get an estimate of where that IP is located geographically, but it's not very reliable and your best hitting several sites found on google to get the best estimate of where the IP is currently located at.\n\nThat's the best you'll do just off an IP, you probably won't be able to find out who owns the computer that is using that IP address, maybe just the service provider.

Let's start with Planet Earth. \n\nIf you know the domain name, PING it.  \n\nFrom the Command Promt, type\n\nping yahoo.com\n\nThen use a WHOIS service to Look up that IP address to find the OWNER.   That owner probably has the server installed somewhere near their location.\n\nTry \nhttp://www.arin.net/whois/

In the example above, "yoursever" is your website.  For example, if you own billybob123.com, you would replace "yourserver" with "billybob123.com" in the above example, so it would look like http://billybob123.com/catalog/inst..."  Don't try to click on that link, it won't go anywhere.  :-)\n\nI think the above example is assuming you do have your own domain.  I'm not sure what to do if you're using something like geocities or your ISP's personal webspace.  If the program name indicates what it does, you might not be able to.  If you adminster a domain, and need help, whoever gives you tech support should be able to help.  If you don't....  I don't know what to tell you, but I do wish you luck!

Apache http://www.apache.org\n\nBut I wouldn't recommend using either one of those environments for a server. Go for Linux or Unix-based server.

Go to http://www.dnsstuff.com and on the left hand side you will see a box for WHOIS LOOKUP.\nType the domain name in there, click on search and the result will be displayed.

What you want to do is make sure that you have an isp service with a constant or static IP address to host a server. These are the steps you need:\n\n1) Identify your IP address and find out if it's static\n2) setup your server and the folder with the pictures\n3) on your website type the html code or which ever code you use such that it links your pictures to the site, example: http://youripaddress/imagefolder/image.jpg\n\nBelow are some servers you can install on a windows based computer. If you use Linux you might have to install an extra module to use it as a server.

change the DNS server you are using. It is not responding properly

if you have purchased a URL e.g www.SomeName.com, you can go to the CONTROL PANEL of your URL provider and Look for a setting called Destination IP or something of the same meaning. \n\nHere you put the IP of your PC, so each time anyone uses the URL, they will be directed to your PC. Ofcourse you need to have a web server installed on your PC to host some web pages.\n\n:)

I think there is a .asp document where your web server's documents and stuff is located (usually being c:&#92;inetpub&#92;wwwfiles&#92; ).\nIf there is that document, just open up internet explorer, or whatever browser you have and type in:\nhttp://localhost/(document name).asp\n\nNote: no parenthesis are needed.\n\nThat should help you out.

If you are locating this server at your location then go with the microsoft product. If you are using a hosting service, use the Linux service unless you specifically need microsoft server products like asp. \n\nLinux has a rather steep learning curve and it sounds like you are in a hurry.

On the command prompt run "ping <servername>"\n\nThis should give you the IP address of the server in question\n\nIf you are looking for your own IP address go "ipconfig /all"

Depends on what program  you are using to read mail, but if you can get to the headers, there should be a Received From section... that will tell you (watch out because one is for the server & one is for their actual computer). Then go to http://www.whois.net & find out who owns that server/IP address.
