Well, I was surprised to see that though.
So I'm looking for some mechanism, that I may come to know abt it,
before working on it...

There are a number of Dynamic DNS providers that would allow you to
offer a website on a dynamic IP however it would be problematic at best.
Have a look at dyndns.

Cheers.

Hi,

You may query the Primary/Secondary DNS server of that web site to
check out the TTL of the record (you can even check the Minimum value
in SOA record). If its very small (like few minutes) then it "may be"
hosted on dynamic IP and if the TTL is in hours then its almost sure
its on static IP.

Second option just to get a clue would be, to query for PTR record to
find the hostname, as some ISPs give names which can tell you if the
IP is static or dynamic.

Another option is to check out WhoIS database for that IP to get some clues.

Regards,
