Hello, all.

I think this is a noob question for all the geeks out there. So, sorry to bother you for this.

How can we know which web server a website is using? Is there any online service for this or so?

Hmm

Getting server details in Whois ? How ?

You can use this - *uptime.netcraft.com/up/graph - which will show the details.

What do mean by 'web server'? Do you want to know the operating system, server software, etc?

If yes, then you can lookup the headers!

Hey, thanks guys for all your help. You all rock.:cool:

@Rohan
I want to know Server Software. Like IIS, Apache or so. You told me to lookup the headers. I don't know about this. Can anyone elaborate?
