You may want to try nslookup and dig.
The current IP address has changed but even so, you may see "teksavvy" as below:

nslookup 69.196.142.228
Server:		206.248.154.22
Address:	206.248.154.22#53

Non-authoritative answer:
228.142.196.69.in-addr.arpa	name = 69.196.142.228.cable.teksavvy.com.

Authoritative answers can be found from:
142.196.69.in-addr.arpa	nameserver = ns2.teksavvy.com.
142.196.69.in-addr.arpa	nameserver = ns.teksavvy.com.
ns.teksavvy.com	internet address = 206.248.182.3
ns.teksavvy.com	has AAAA address 2607:f2c0::3
ns2.teksavvy.com	internet address = 206.248.182.4
ns2.teksavvy.com	has AAAA address 2607:f2c0::4

Hope that helps.
