Nishant bhaiya...a sniffer tool could easily be used. Even the command prompt could be used.
Using the command -netstat, you get the statistics of where your connection packets are going and their domain names.
I believe a whois lookup works too. This is what I found using netstat :
TCP pritish:1068 apache2-kip.giancana.dreamhost.com:http

And this using a whois lookup :
Domain Name: DREAMHOST.COM
Registrar: NEW DREAM NETWORK, LLC
Whois Server: whois.dreamhost.com
Referral URL: http://www.dreamhost.com
Name Server: NS1.DREAMHOST.COM
Name Server: NS2.DREAMHOST.COM
Name Server: NS3.DREAMHOST.COM
Status: ok
