dig companyname.website companyname.website. 3217 IN A 184.168.221.2 curl -i -i http://companyname.website http://companyname.website Location: http://xkcd.com http://xkcd.com Server: Microsoft-IIS/7.5 X-AspNet-Version: 4.0.30319 X-Powered-By: ASP.NET Yes, it's a redirect. The domain is registered on GoDaddy and uses a domain anonymizer (you can't see who really registered it).

xkcd runs on IIS? I haven't seen an IIS header since 1997.

  He probably just created a redirect in the domain host's web interface. Just checked, and xkcd runs lighttpd.

    thanks. that makes more sense. probably the registrar uses IIS, then. got a downvote for that, btw. weirdest downvote ever. maybe I upset some hardcore IIS fan or something?

      According to Netcraft, IIS (Microsoft) has about 27% marketshare, and I occasionally see an ASPX extension every now and then. No good reason you wouldn't see an IIS header, but I don't know why someone would downvote you for not noticing things.

        I don't know either, but they're really into it. I'm in negative numbers on every comment in this subtree. (except, hopefully, this one.)

        No, it's just because comments like "IIS sucks" or "my webserver > your webserver", like, "my programming language > your programming language", or, "my text editor > your text editor", are lame. I'm not an IIS fan, and I didn't downvote you, but only because you were already < 1.

        sure, but I didn't say anything like that. I said I had no idea it still existed. I legitimately thought it was discontinued around 15 years ago.

  I was more concerned that Mr Monroe registered with GoDaddy.
