It has some cool options too. For example:

http://sharingmyip.com/?site=ycombinator.com

It finds related sub-domains being used, like wiki.ycombinator.com

Or for Cisco: http://sharingmyip.com/?site=cisco.com

It shows that some of their external domains are pointed to internal addresses (in the 10.0 range).

Be aware that this site doesn't do what it claims: "See which web sites are sharing the same IP Address." The truth would be: "See which web sites that have previously been searched for on our site that shares the same IP"

Basically it will only show sub-domains within the domain you search for, unless previous searches for other domains happen to match the IP.

I tested this just to confirm: I searched for one of my domains (apr. 20 domains on the same IP) and only sub-domains showed up. I searched for another of my domains and the sub-domains+my previous search showed up.

Not really. We seeded it with millions of sites/ IP addresses. But if yours are very small/new they wouldn't be there. But we do add each searched site in the db.

I can't do much about 4 domains pointed to one IP and handled by apache vhosts config. But the good thing it does is that it co-relates previous searches to build its DB.

That's quite better than fail actually, it understands that the user is trying to test me :), in turn it benefits.

But definitely no results for first timers. Multiple sources (gps, wifi) could be used to build out a cell-id -> location DB in similar way.

Small yes, new not so much (the oldest domain is from 1998).

But I think you are bypassing the point here somewhat. The point isn't that it only relies on previous searches, or on previous searches at all. The point is that it is not, and will probably never be a complete database, at least not the way things work as of now.

Just for fun I tried a couple of other tools that boast the same feature (http://spyonweb.com and http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/web-sites-on-web-server/) and they both found most of all of these sites without any problem.

The major difference here is your site has a nice clean interface with a very easily parseable source, something these two other sites definitely don't have.

Now, if you could manage the same results as these other sites maintaining the clean interface you have now, it would definitely be my future choice. But as long as there are other sites out there that provide more reliable results...
