Free tools to check where a website and its business email are hosted, who runs the network behind them, and how to set up an accented .ca domain.
HostScout tools use public DNS, IP and network data to surface useful infrastructure signals without turning uncertain data into absolute claims.
Enter a domain to inspect the public infrastructure it resolves to, including visible IP addresses, server geolocation, autonomous system number (ASN) and network organization.
The check also surfaces major CDN and reverse-proxy signals that can affect what public DNS reveals. Results are presented as infrastructure evidence, not as a guarantee of server ownership or Canadian data residency.
Enter a domain or email address to identify the company that hosts its mailboxes, using public MX, SPF, DKIM and autodiscover records. The check also flags email security filters such as Proofpoint, Mimecast and Barracuda.
Results compare the provider with what it publishes about Canadian data storage and show where to confirm your account's region. DNS records show mail routing, not a guarantee of where mailboxes or backups are stored.
Search an ASN, IP address or domain against public ARIN and RDAP registration data to inspect the registered network name, organization, IP range, CIDR, status and related entities.
Use the records to research who a network block is registered to and compare public network identity with a hosting provider's infrastructure claims. Registration data alone does not prove physical server ownership or location.
Convert accented .ca domains such as café.ca to Punycode (xn--) and back, and check each character against the 16 French characters CIRA accepts in .ca domains.
Each result lists the accented variants CIRA reserves for the same registrant, with ready-to-copy DNS, Nginx, Apache, SSL and redirect settings for pointing the domain to your host.
Most hosting checkers are built for a global audience. They name the company behind a server, but not whether your website, email and data stay in Canada.
These tools answer that Canadian question from public DNS, IP and network records, and they say so when the records can't confirm a location.
