# Who hosts this website?

> The domain's registrar, DNS, host, mail, certificate and platform on one map. Under it: what to ask for if you have no access.

## What we check

We ask the registry for the registrar over RDAP, and read DNS, the host and the mail from the public DNS records and RIPE NCC's public network data (RIPEstat). We see the certificate the way every browser sees it, and the platform on the home page, only when the page says so itself. We open no other page and never show the holder's name.

## What people ask

### How do I find out where my site is hosted?

Type the site's address. The check reads the public DNS records, finds the network the server sits in from RIPE NCC's public data, and names the provider. If the site sits behind Cloudflare or a similar service, the real host cannot be seen from outside; look it up in the domain's control panel or ask whoever built the site.

### What do I do if the company that built my site stops answering?

Start with the map here: which registrar holds the domain and which provider hosts the site. The registrar and the host give access to the account holder on the strength of documents. Then ask the company in writing for the access listed on this page. If that does not work, a lawyer.

### Who owns the site, me or the company that built it?

It depends on the contract. The domain belongs to whoever it is registered to, the hosting to the account holder, and the code and data to whoever the contract says. Ask in writing for confirmation of what is in whose name, and for a dispute, see a lawyer.

### What does "behind Cloudflare" mean?

Cloudflare stands between visitors and the server: it protects the site and speeds it up, but shows its own addresses instead of the server's. That is why the real host cannot be seen from outside. You can see it in the Cloudflare account and in the hosting control panel.
