Just curious because my site was down this morning - but it's fine now. I'd like to know for future reference (in other words, if others mention my specific server is down, then I'll know it's not just me).

Thanks for any help.

Jeanne

As Emily Litella once said, "Nevermind." I see it's listed on my info in my post...sorry, I just never noticed that before and maybe that's because I don't post much (which is probably a good sign because it means I don't experience many problems).

For you young ones who don't know Emily Litella

Have a good day all.

I'd love to know what server I'm on. Under my name on the forums, it lists the old package I was on (Baby Croc, I'm not on a Reseller Account), and lists the server as "Other (Not Listed)". I'd love to know what server my DNS resolves to, especially since I was asked by a HostGator tech support person in a ticket request what server I was on, and I have absolutely no idea.

You can go dnsstuff.com (scroll down) and use the Reverse DNS lookup tool by copying and pasting the ip address found in your cpanel.

I like robtex [www.robtex.com]

It gives you a simple results interface and allows you to drill up and down through the dns heirarchy.

The easiest way to tell is to telnet to yourdomain.com on port 25. The server will respond with the full server name:

Code:
[sanjin@alpha sanjin]$ telnet mydomainname 25
Trying 74.52.200.194...
Connected to gator225.hostgator.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220-gator225.hostgator.com ESMTP Exim 4.63 #1 Tue, 20 Feb 2007 22:31:21 -0600
220-We do not authorize the use of this system to transport unsolicited,
220 and/or bulk e-mail.
Hope that helps.

Create a file with ".php" as its extension in public_html.

In it place these lines

Code:
<?php
 
phpinfo();
 
?>
In your browser, enter yourdomain.com/fileyoucreated.php

You'll get a wealth of info regarding your server's PHP installation, plus some server and directory info.
