You may come across a website and really enjoy its speed that you may want to find out who is hosting it, this can be quite annoying sometimes especially when you are trying to go through the usual channel of searching the WHOIS database, often times you end up finding the name of the company or individual that registered the domain, but not the actual company that is hosting it.
