Getting the IP of my site
I have a Wordpress site that was hosted on one of the many many VPS that I have bought over the years. The DNS was hosted by Cloudflare. Recently I was doing an update on the DNS of some of my domains and accidentally change the A record of that domain to another IP. Cloudflare confirmed that they don't keep an archive of the A records of my domain and using any IP/domain lookup tool will only give me the IP of Cloudflare in the archived records.
So now my site is alive and online but I don't know what's the IP (as dumb as it sounds), and I am just wondering if there is any way I could find the IP of the site (either via Google search or something else) since I remembered people used to be able to get the IP of LowEndTalk through Google somehow even back in the days when LET was behind Cloudflare.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

there are many addons on firefox to show you the ip.

No he can't.

You say that your wordpress site is working?
Perhaps this plugin can help you? http://wordpress.org/plugins/server-ip/
Unfortunately I don't have access to my site because I forgot the IP of the site, else it would have been easy
Doesn't work either because I have already changed the A record and I have no subdomain pointing to that A record. SiteReport does not show the IP of the actual site either since it was hidden behind cloudflare since day 1....
This one only shows the cloudflare IP also...
So, how can you enter your site?
I can't....and that is the problem. Sorry I weren't being clear. I "think" the site is up because I checked every single VPS before I cancel them to make sure there is nothing on the VPS but in reality I have no idea which VPS it is on or who the provider is, etc etc.
Don't you know which provider the sites with? Go through your setup emails in your inbox and try find the right one?
I have my site on a VPS, but I did not keep track on which VPS I put my site on, so provider emails won't help me at all.
@zhaynyi so login to each one of your VPSes and search for some of the files only found on this website? Like some specific image or something?
Yes, that would be the last resort, I was hoping for a quicker way since I have probably 40 or 50 VPS with many of them that I paid yearly that I probably don't even remember by now...bad habbit I know....
are you able to access the wp admin page? If yes then try to add this: "<?php echo $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'] ?>" to your existing theme to get the ip and remove it afterwards
No unfortunately, I don't know what the IP is to my site.
this sounds to me, like you want to get real ip of another site, not yours.
i cant belive you dont know your site hostname, or cloudflare account to check NS or IP.
bullshit.
Any e-mail notification left from that WP blog? Try to check headers of that e-mail.
If there isn't any, try look up http://dnshistory.org
cloudflare-watch.org has a disturbingly comprehensive searchable archive of original IPs:
http://www.cloudflare-watch.org/cfs.html#box
thank to you, you broke all cloudflare attempts to protect sites...
lol xD
ruth.ns.cloudflare.com
ken.ns.cloudflare.com
SSL certificate info for lowendtalk.com
A direct-connect IP address was found: lowendtalk.com
............................
i should suggest to remove address
If that site wasn't super easy to find with a Google search I might not have posted it, but it is (not to mention that someone else linked to a site that linked there earlier in this thread).
I think I just have to stop being lazy and log into every single box I have until I found the one....
Don't forget to document as you go.
OK Here We Go
just input your domain name here
http://whoisrequest.org/
click IP History on left sidebar, this will show ip history of your domain
WOW, check out all the tools
will show ip history - all domain hosted, upto 300 for free
will show ns history - all domain served by that dns
will show domain history - all pass dns server by year
This is a useful website! Unfortunately all I could get are the cloudflare IPs...I guess I hide the domain behind Cloudflare since day 1 which now I really regret!
Useful trick; if you use OpenSSH (the default SSH client on most Linux distros), you can add a command to run directly after the SSH command:
ssh [email protected] ls /var/www/some-file.php(where some-file.php is a file unique to this site - you can of course also use other commands). It will connect, run the command, print the output, and exit.Make a list of SSH commands for each of the hostnames of your VPSes, then just paste the whole thing into a shell, and either it will spam a bunch of output at you (if you're using a keypair for auth), or ask you for your password all the time (when using password auth). Either way, you should eventually end up with a list of output from every server - and the server you're looking for, should be recognizable in that list
Script it! You just have to make a script that will login to each box (should be simple since you're using SSH key, right?), check for the existence of a file that you know has to exist on only the server you're looking for (since it's Wordpress, you'll want to have it search for "wp-config.php" or something like that), and if it finds it, it lets you know which server it is.
What do you have like one million VPS's, I think you hacker..
you should receive email during the wp blog installation....find it if you still not delete it.....there should be record of server ip in the header....
Most likely not a hacker lol. I have loads of VPS's too, does that mean I'm a hacker?
I love getting those login details for a fresh VPS and then getting to set it all up. Doing RSA keys, installing all my needed RPMs (or Debs depending what I've gone for).
It's an addiction, no different to a smoker or an alcoholic.
