Quick answer

A reverse IP lookup finds the hostnames served by an IP address — answering "what else is hosted here?". Secably discovers them live from the IP's reverse DNS (PTR) record and the hostnames in the TLS certificate it serves, then verifies which ones currently point at that IP. Free, no signup, results in seconds.

What is a reverse IP lookup?

A reverse IP lookup answers a simple question: which hostnames are served by this IP address? A forward DNS lookup goes from a domain to its IP. A reverse IP lookup goes the other way — from an IP back to the domains and hostnames that live on it.

It is most useful when several sites share one server (shared hosting), when you want to find other properties on your own infrastructure, or when you are mapping the attack surface of a target during reconnaissance and want to know what else that IP exposes.

Why you can't just "crawl" an IP for every domain

DNS is one-directional in practice: going from a domain to an IP is instant, but there is no built-in index from an IP back to every domain on it. You cannot ask an IP to list all the sites it hosts — that information simply isn't stored there.

What the IP does reveal, live, is its reverse DNS record and the certificate it serves. Secably reads exactly those, so the results are always current — never a stale snapshot from someone else's old database.

How reverse IP lookup works

Secably discovers hostnames straight from the live IP, then cross-checks each one against DNS.

— PTR

Reverse DNS

Reads the IP's PTR record — the hostname the network operator has assigned to it. Fast, but usually just one name.

— TLS cert

Certificate hostnames

Connects to the IP's HTTPS ports and reads the certificate's Common Name and Subject Alternative Names — the domains the server itself presents.

— Verify

Forward verification

Each discovered hostname is resolved back to check whether it currently points at this IP, so you can tell live associations from ones only listed in an old certificate.

Honest limitation: a single live connection returns the server's default certificate, so on shared hosts with many unrelated domains the live result is partial. Broad "every domain ever seen on this IP" coverage needs a historical passive-DNS dataset, which is inherently incomplete and can be out of date. Secably prioritizes accuracy and freshness over an inflated, stale count.

Developers: surface old projects and staging sites still parked on a server you control.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a reverse IP lookup? +
A reverse IP lookup discovers the hostnames served by a given IP address — answering "what else is hosted on this IP?". It's useful for mapping shared hosting, finding related sites, and understanding your own attack surface.
How does it work? +
DNS has no built-in index from an IP to every domain on it. Secably discovers hostnames live from the IP: its reverse DNS (PTR) record, and the hostnames in the TLS certificate served on its HTTPS ports. Each hostname is then resolved to confirm whether it currently points at that IP.
Why doesn't it find every domain on an IP? +
A single live connection returns the server's default certificate, so it reveals only the hostnames that cert covers plus the PTR record. On shared hosting with many unrelated domains, broad coverage requires a historical passive-DNS dataset, which is inherently incomplete and can be stale. Live discovery is always current but partial.
Can I look up a domain instead of an IP? +
Yes. Enter a domain and Secably resolves it to its IP first, then discovers the other hostnames on that IP. Note that if the domain sits behind a large CDN, its IP is shared by many unrelated sites and reverse lookup is less meaningful.
Is reverse IP lookup legal? +
It uses only public data — DNS records and the TLS certificate the server presents publicly — so it's generally legal. As always, only run deeper scans against infrastructure you own or are authorized to assess.
