IP2Location Geolocation Database
IP2Location is a geolocation software that can identify a visitor’s location. This information can then be used for a variety of purposes, such as displaying native language content, redirecting visitors to the nearest branch of your company, filtering access from countries you don’t do business with, and more.
The free version of IP2Location allows you to get some basic geolocation information, such as country, region, city, latitude and longitude. The paid version of this software, however, offers much more detailed information about a visitor’s location, including the ability to determine the ISP, domain name, connection speed, advertising category, VPN, proxy ASN, and more.
One popular alternative to IP2Location is MaxMind GeoIP, a product that can offer similar functionality as well as online fraud protection and website content localization. This product also enables users to block visitors from specific regions, which can help reduce the risk of fraudulent credit card transactions and other types of online fraud.
The ip2location Nginx module is an IP geolocation lookup library that enables you to find out the country code and name, city, latitude and longitude, zip code, ISP, domain name, network speed, area code, idd code, weather station code, mobile brand, usage type, and more based on an IP address. It can be used in the Nginx web server to make it easier to identify a visitor’s geographical location, which can then be used for a variety of applications. The library can be downloaded from the official site for free.
