Same method with cleaner output.

Standard output: 242690hfc113.tampabay.rr.com

Cleaner output: *.tampabay.rr.com

<?php
    $ip = $REMOTE_ADDR;
    $host = gethostbyaddr($ip);
    $real_host = chop($host);
    if ($real_host) {
        $host_arr = explode(".", $real_host);
        $count = count($host_arr);
        if ($count > 1) {
            if (intval($host_arr[$count-1]) != 0) {
                $host = substr($real_host, 0, strrpos($real_host, ".")).".*";
            } else {
                $host = "*".strstr($real_host, ".");
            }
        } else {
            $host = $real_host;
        }
    } else {
        $host = "";
    }
?>

Your IP address is <?php echo $ip; ?> | Your host is <?php echo $host; ?> 

This would all return something like this:

Your IP address is 24.26.90.113 | Your host is *.tampabay.rr.com
