You don't need a special site to do the IP lookup.

From a Mac just open a terminal session and type:

dig <website name>

and it will spit out the known IP addresses (there will likely be several) for the web page.

From a PC open a command prompt (DOS box) and type:

nslookup <website name>

to get similar results.

Note that while you can use nslookup on your Mac, or on any flavor of UNIX or LINUX, nslookup has been depreciated for a few years now.

Google also return a number of web based DNS services, but I have never used any.

Hope this helps.

What's a site to look up an IP address of a web page? I thought I had it bookmarked, but can't find it [must clean up bookmarks]; thought it was arin.net, whois, icann, internic; sometimes netcraft.com helps.

Been having problems with our DSL [intermittent connection], including DNS issues [some sites only load with IP address, not URL]. Maybe Verizon will resolve both soon.

thx
