Websites, domains, email, and hosting services all depend on a few important technical settings working correctly behind the scenes. When something goes wrong, it can be hard to know where to start.
That is why Web Host Pro created a simple set of free online tools at:
These tools are designed to help website owners, developers, businesses, and support teams quickly check common hosting, DNS, email, and network details without installing software or logging into a control panel.
The current tool options include:
Your IP
Domain → IP
Email Deliverability
DNS Health Check
WHOIS
Service Scan
Each tool focuses on a specific part of website or email troubleshooting.
Your IP
The Your IP tool shows the public IP address your connection is using when you visit the page.
This is useful because the IP address your computer, phone, office, or internet connection uses may be needed for support, firewall rules, account security, or troubleshooting blocked access.
For example, if a website, server, hosting account, control panel, or email system is blocking your connection, support may ask for your public IP address. This tool gives you a quick way to confirm it.
Common uses for the Your IP tool
Use this tool when you need to:
Confirm your current public IP address
Check if you are using a VPN or proxy
Provide your IP address to technical support
Allow your IP through a firewall
Troubleshoot blocked website or email access
Verify what IP address a website sees when you connect
The tool may also show forwarded header information when available. This can be helpful if you are behind a proxy, CDN, firewall, or other network layer that passes traffic through another service.
Domain → IP
The Domain → IP tool checks where a domain name points by resolving its DNS records.
When someone types a domain name into a browser, DNS tells the internet which server should handle that request. The most common records involved are A records for IPv4 addresses and AAAA records for IPv6 addresses.
This tool helps confirm whether a domain is pointing to the expected server.
Common uses for the Domain → IP tool
Use this tool when you need to:
Check where a domain is currently pointing
Confirm a website is using the correct hosting server
Verify DNS after a hosting migration
Troubleshoot a website that is not loading
Check whether recent DNS changes have started working
Compare expected server IPs with live DNS results
This is especially helpful before or after moving a website to a new hosting provider. If the domain still points to the old server, visitors may not reach the new website yet.
Email Deliverability
The Email Deliverability tool helps review common email-related DNS settings that can affect whether your messages reach the inbox.
Email delivery depends on more than just sending a message. Receiving mail servers often check DNS records to decide whether an email appears legitimate. If those records are missing, incorrect, or misaligned, messages may land in spam, get delayed, or fail completely.
Important email-related DNS records may include MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and reverse DNS depending on the mail setup.
Common uses for the Email Deliverability tool
Use this tool when you need to:
Check if a domain is properly configured for email
Troubleshoot emails going to spam
Review email authentication settings
Confirm mail records after changing hosting or email providers
Find common DNS issues that may hurt inbox placement
Prepare a domain for business email
This tool is useful for website owners using business email, contact forms, newsletters, billing systems, order notifications, or any service where reliable email delivery matters.
Why email deliverability matters
Poor email deliverability can affect customer communication, password resets, invoices, support tickets, ecommerce orders, and marketing messages.
A website may be working perfectly, but if the email configuration is weak, customers may not receive important messages. Checking email deliverability is one of the easiest ways to catch these problems early.
DNS Health Check
The DNS Health Check tool reviews common DNS configuration issues for a domain.
DNS is the system that connects your domain name to the correct website, email server, and services. If DNS has errors, visitors may not reach your website, email may stop working, or services may behave inconsistently.
This tool helps check whether a domain resolves properly, has valid name servers, and avoids common DNS problems.
Common uses for the DNS Health Check tool
Use this tool when you need to:
Check the overall health of a domain’s DNS
Find common DNS configuration problems
Confirm name servers are set correctly
Troubleshoot website or email resolution issues
Review DNS after moving hosting providers
Get a quick starting point before contacting support
A clean DNS setup helps websites load reliably and helps email, subdomains, and other services work as expected.
Why DNS issues are easy to miss
DNS problems are often confusing because they do not always affect everyone at the same time. One visitor may see the website working, while another may see an error. This can happen because DNS changes take time to update across different networks.
A DNS health check gives you a simple way to review the most common issues from one place.
WHOIS
The WHOIS tool performs a basic lookup for domain or IP registration information.
WHOIS information can help identify domain registration details, registrar information, ownership records where public, important domain dates, and related technical details. Some registries limit or hide certain information for privacy and security reasons.
Common uses for the WHOIS tool
Use this tool when you need to:
Check where a domain is registered
Review public domain registration information
Look up domain expiration details when available
Confirm registrar information
Research domain ownership records where public
Check basic information about an IP address
WHOIS can be especially helpful when managing domains, researching a domain purchase, troubleshooting ownership issues, or confirming where a domain is controlled.
Important note about WHOIS privacy
Many domains use privacy protection, and many registries limit the amount of information shown publicly. This means WHOIS results may not always show the domain owner’s personal or business information.
That is normal and often expected.
Service Scan
The Service Scan tool checks whether selected TCP ports are reachable on a host.
A port is like a doorway into a server for a specific service. Websites, email, DNS, databases, FTP, SSH, and control panels often use different ports. If a needed port is blocked, closed, or unreachable, the related service may not work.
This tool provides a lightweight way to check whether specific services appear reachable from the outside.
Common uses for the Service Scan tool
Use this tool when you need to:
Check if a website service is reachable
Confirm whether mail ports are open
Test server access after firewall changes
Check DNS, FTP, SSH, or control panel ports
Troubleshoot services after a server move
Verify that a specific port is responding
For example, if a website is not loading, checking ports 80 and 443 can help confirm whether normal web traffic is reachable. If email is having issues, checking common mail ports can help identify whether a service may be blocked or unavailable.
Common port examples
Port 80 is commonly used for standard web traffic
Port 443 is commonly used for secure HTTPS web traffic
Port 21 is commonly used for FTP
Port 22 is commonly used for SSH
Port 25 is commonly used for SMTP mail transfer
Port 53 is commonly used for DNS
Port 110 is commonly used for POP3 email
Port 143 is commonly used for IMAP email
Port 465 is commonly used for secure SMTP
Port 587 is commonly used for authenticated SMTP submission
Port 993 is commonly used for secure IMAP
Port 995 is commonly used for secure POP3
A service scan does not replace full server monitoring or a security audit, but it is a fast way to check whether important services are reachable.
Why These Tools Are Helpful
The Web Host Pro tools page brings several useful checks into one simple place.
Instead of searching for separate IP, DNS, WHOIS, email, and port tools, you can run quick checks from one clean page. This is useful for website owners, agencies, developers, IT teams, and anyone managing domains or hosting services.
These tools can help with:
Website troubleshooting
Email delivery problems
DNS changes
Hosting migrations
Firewall checks
Domain research
Server service checks
Support ticket details
General website maintenance
They are especially useful when you need a quick answer before opening a support request.
