Beside whois [-a | -r | -p | ...] <ip-address>, you could "traceroute <ip-address>", find a host nearby the destination, and see if you can resolve that hostname. Once you have the domain name of the nearby host, find the nameserver (NS-record) for the domain and check if you can find out more if you directly query that nameserver (nslookup <ip-address> -<nameserver>), try to "list" the domain and "grep" for the <ip-address>, or better check the SOA record and write an email to the hostmaster.
