Now we have a ip address and a user account, we want to know its service provider. Let's find the truth step by step.
- It's a virtual machine or not?
Login to this server using the user account and run:
$ cat /proc/cpuinfo
At the "model name" line, I found "QEMU Virtual CPU version 1.0". So it's a virtual machine and probably a VPS (virtual private server). I need verify my guess.
- What is its service provider?
On my laptop, run command:
$ dig -x <ipaddress>
In the "AUTHORITY SECTION", I found "nsl.digitalocean.com". Google "digitalocean.com" shows it's a VPS provider.
- Which solution this VPS uses?
On https://www.digitalocean.com/ I found a solution $5/month, with 512MB ram. To verify, on VPS run:
$ free -m
It shows the total memory is 490MB. That's it.
