Type in the domain or IP at the URL below. http://www.myipneighbors.com/ What is nice is that the domains are listed on the left side. A live browser frame window of the domain you select is on most of the right side. I find it rather interesting to look through the front page of sites I am sharing with. |

One company may have several web-servers in a cluster, but only one switch/router routing the requests to the right server. Then all the servers will have the same external IP. Theoretically at least one account can have dozens of domains. It's only really a rough guide that I found interesting. I moved off a server that was hosting hundreds and hundreds of sites and I found my site was suffering from that. I'm now with a host that's serving (at present) less than 50. |

Some hosts will host thousands of websites on a single server . It is however the resources the websites use, not the number of websites that will have an effect . If a web host doesn't have mnay websites on the server, it could indicate that they don't have many customers, so if they are not making much money they are not going to be around for very long . |

| 644762 | 2008-02-29 02:55:00 | There's a small chink (ok, call it a hack) on many servers that allow you to see every one else's websites and username/password combinations. | Greg (193) | ||
