Reverse IP is a way to retrive a list of websites hosted on a given IP address. By entering an IP address or domain name one will receive a list of domains which currently hosted on that IP Address.

What is it Good for?

Reverse IP is important becasue:

  • Phishing and scam websites often come in groups. If you find one do a Reverse IP look up to find the other scam sites hosted on the same server as the one you found.
  • Shared Hosting accounts are usually hosted under the same IP address. See who is using that web host before signing up or see who else is on your server.
  • Parking Sites can be identified by the large number domains parked on their IP address. See who else is parked on that server.
