I have a url to a site and I vaguely remember there being a Windows console command that you can use to find the IP address of the server the site is deployed to. Can someone remind me? Also, can you tell me how to use it?

if you ping the server using the Windows command prompt, it will gives you the server IP. ex.: ping www.google.com
C:\Users\Deleu>ping www.google.com
