ISP Name from IP address

[real_in]

but mann.. it doesn work for me

isnt there a way i can get it thru http://DNSstuff.com

or something like that.. cause this script will return for few and for few it wont

You could do it, but the code would be complex, slow and it is most likely illegal. Do you know the address of your DNS server? There might be a better way to do this directly. Of course, if it's your DNS server that's the proble, the results won't be any better.

Select the ip address and enter it. It will tell you the ISP.

Your DNS server is what your machine queries for the hostname. It figured it all out, not your machine.

but when i visit, http://danasoft.com the ISP name is displayed in the pic(signature).

and i know my ISP name .. also http://dnsstuff.com is the best tool

[ryno]

Does your server and danasoft.com use the same DNS server?

[real_in]

na, i m from india and i belive that site is hosted some where in US. so the DNS servers cant be same.. (sorry for being n00b)

[ryno]

Well... what you might be able to do is write a function that queries the DNS server that dnsstuff.com uses and you could probably get the same results. You would have to find out what DNS server they use though and make sure that you can legally query it in this fashion.

yeah that is the only hope left now.. other wise i have to locally execute a query to my shell, but that wont be safe and i will have to check with my hosting service, if they gonna allow me to do so or no ..

thanks a lot mate..
