Find WordPress sites hosted by specific hosting provider

    I’m looking to potentially upgrade my WordPress hosting to improve performance. How to find web hosting that meets my requirements? However, before moving my site to a new provider, I’d like to “test” the hosts’ performance prior to signing up.

    I know that it’s possible to lookup who hosts a particular domain, but are there any tricks to doing this in reverse? I.e., is it possible to look up what domains are using WordPress hosted by a particular hosting provider?

    Alternatively, is there a way to see what IP address blocks a web host “owns”? If I knew the address blocks, I could look at what domains where hosted by IP address.

    I think the only way would be to get a list of domains and then see what happens if you try to load example.com/wp-config.php – if the site uses WP it should be blank, if not there will be an error 404.

    If you have some coding skills, you could write a script that looped through the domains trying to load wp-config.php and displayed the result or wrote the output to a file or emailed you or whatever.
