Interesting, but the results seem kind of misleading. For example, https://sitestacks.com/linestarve.com says I'm using "NameCheap Web Hosting" -- they're my registrar, but I run my own HTTP server for that domain. Meanwhile https://sitestacks.com/analytics.bitmash.io reports that it's built with Piwik (true, but I would expect that to appear on a page using Piwik, which it doesn't), but for some reason leaves out all mention of webserver, DNS hosting, and so on.

Same with my site, says iwantmyname hosting, but in reality that's just my registrar. Actually I'm using a very popular cloud VM service, so I'm not sure why that wasn't picked up.

Also couldn't discern my actual web stack beyond nginx and html5 and some javascript libraries like google analytics.

It's probably not very detectable, though...flask.py

Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like NameCheap should be picked up as a registrar; we'll take a look!

On the second point, we should clarify that the data is meant to be domain-wide (except for the real-time mapper for domains not already in our universe - there we only look at the first page so we can return data quickly).

What do you mean by 'domain-wide'? Is it supposed to pick up everything on the domain and its subdomains?

So today I learnt that Amazon.com is acutally hosted on Google Cloud Platform uses Google Domains as well as 1&1 Hosting, alongside Adobe TagManager and Google Analytics. Who could have known? \s

Something is really off there, what do you do to get these results? https://sitestacks.com/amazon.com

Id like to see some ability to detect different CMSs

Our focus has been more on business tech, but we're expanding coverage into cms, libraries etc.

Here's some data we have on CMSs currently
