I was wondering if anyone knew how to ID the server or general server location (either by city, state, region, or nation) of a particular website? Server names can sometimes be found via whois, but I am looking for a way to find server locations without trying to contact admins.
It is very difficult to do. You can glean some of that information through careful investigation of the network backbone and where addresses seem to be (by hostname, by organization location, etc) - but not at all reliably. --elijah
