Hiya. i really hope this question suites serverfault, if not my apologies!

I have an ip address, is there a way to find the web hosting service that this ip address belongs to ?

I tried using whois and traceroute but no luck so far.

the case is that my friend bought a domain and storage several years ago and he can't remember where he bought the storage from.

thanks!
