What I did: $ ping furrycritters.co.uk This revealed both the IP address and the reverse lookup, in this case victorious.eukhost.com (213.175.194.16). This was confirmed by doing: $ dig -x 213.175.194.16 I also confirmed that it was running FTP, rather than SFTP by telneting to port 21. Finally, going to the furrycritters.co.uk domain in a web browser shows that hosting has been set up, but that no index page has been uploaded. It also shows that the server is running Apache and cPanel. I don't know how to lookup what other domains are using that IP address though. Anyone else? -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
