Objective

  • Want to know if an IP address is managed or provided by OVHcloud?
  • Your domain name points to an IP address, and you want to know if it is managed or provided by OVHcloud?
  • Want to find the provider hosting your website via their IP address?

To find out who manages or provides a specific IP address, you will need to make a WHOIS request on it.

Find out how to find out if an IP address is managed, provided and/or associated with an OVHcloud service.

Requirements

  • An IPv4 address (e.g.: 203.0.113.0) or an IPv6 address (e.g.: 2001:db8:0:1b00:203:0:113:0) for which you would like to know the provider or manager
  • A device connected to the internet, with a browser (e.g. Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Edge, etc.)

Instructions

Go to the official WHOIS tool of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) via the following link: lookup.icann.org.

Enter the IPv4 address (e.g.: 203.0.113.0) or IPv6 address (e.g.: 2001:db8:0:1b00:203:0:113:0) in the input field, for which you would like to know the provider or manager.

ICANN Lookup tool

Once you have entered the IP address, click on the blue Lookup button.

Following this, information relating to the IP address will appear.

The content and layout of the information in the result of a WHOIS query may differ depending on the IP address.

To find out if OVHcloud manages or provides the IP address you entered in the input field, look for information on OVHcloud that relates to the service (e.g.: OVH-MNT; OVH SAS, 2 rue Kellermann, 59100 Roubaix, France; etc.)

If this is the case, it will confirm that the IP address for which you performed a WHOIS is managed or provided by OVHcloud.

If applicable, search the information displayed for information related to the "registrant" (holder of the IP address) in order to find your IP address manager or provider.
