All, In the site report of a specific url it lists the country. Sometimes this does not correspond with the nameserver nor the stated "location" for the website. For example, de.indymedia.org (Germany) has a Nameserver "ns2.riseup.net" which is owned by a Seattle organization and is flagged as US. But, liege.indymedia.org (Belgium) also has the Nameserver "ns2.riseup.net" which is owned by a Seattle organization but is flagged Belgium. What does this mean? Is the server location indicated by the flagging/nationality? Or is the location indicated by the nameserver/owneing org? -TED Ted M.

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.
You could try Netcraft:
and CoolWhois (which is a useful extension for Firefox)
