Your IP Neighbors
MyIPNeighbors.com is a handy tool to look-up the sites which are hosted on a specific server. For instance, you enter google.com and you receive maps.google.nl, video.google.ca, ditu.google.com and many more*. Enter blog.outer-court.com, and you'll see e.g. authorama.com, howlinkable.com or diggsoundboard.com, all thanks to a reverse IP domain check, as the site explains. (And if you happen to detect that your server is crammed with questionable content - like hundreds of SEO spam domains - you might want to look for another host...)
Markus Renschler, who sent in this link, also points out that MSN search has a similar tool; the "IP" operator. Type "IP:" followed by an IP address**, say ip:64.62.209.14, and MSN will show you other sites hosted on the server.
*The results for google.com vary depending on the data center the tool hits.
**Which you can find out about by e.g. entering cmd in the Windows execute tool, and then typing tracert example.com.
