Right now, I have the following tools on the website.
Hosting Checker: Quickly find out which hosting provider a website uses.
TTFB Checker: Measure the Time to First Byte (TTFB) from different locations.
DNS Lookup: Get DNS records easily.
WHOIS Lookup: Access registration information about domains.

I plan to add more tools soon. I’d love to hear your feedback—what you like, what you don’t like, and any suggestions for new tools! Your input means a lot!

@simonas_kauzonas Hey!, Thanks! The core functionality is nothing new actually, the tool I was using before was slow and it didn't work sometimes. So I just made a better version of it, which gets the job done and is pretty.
Sounds like a super useful tool! I'm always on the lookout for ways to optimize my hosting. Did you build it to scratch an itch of your own or see a gap in the market? Would love to hear more about the tech stack and how you went about putting it all together. Definitely gonna check it out!
@jonathanedwardbrooks Hey! It really is useful! you will not believe how many times I lookup some website's hosting! Definitely built this one to scratch an itch xD. The stack is bare bones HTML, CSS and JavaScript for the Frontend and for the APIs are mixture of Python and Express. The APIs are spread across, AWS, GCP and Vercel while the Frontend is on Cloudflare.
Congrats on the launch! A hosting checker tool sounds super useful. I'm curious, did you run into issues with your own hosting that inspired the idea? Always cool to see tools born from real experiences and pain points. Wishing you success with it!
Hey @alexandermoore ! Thank you for the kind words <3. Actually the tool I was using before to find out where any website is located was/is slow and it didn't work sometimes. So I just made a better version of it, which gets the job done and is pretty.
Congrats on the launch! A hosting checker is a super useful tool. I'm curious, did you use any specific technologies or frameworks to build it? Always looking to learn from other makers.
Hey @davidcarter ! Thanks! The whole project is developed in Vanilla HTML, CSS and JS. APIs are developed in Express JS and Python.
