Hostname Information

Hostnames

Have you encountered an unusual hostname in your network traffic? The "whois" lookups don't provide much help these days. To the rescue: when you send a hostname to our Hostnames API, the related application is provided.

We also provide the associated hosting/CDN provider, as well as the underlying network provider. You can see a few examples in the list below. These extra details provide a deeper dive so you can do things like build better application machine learning models.
