IP2Location IP-COUNTRY-REGION-CITY-ISP-DOMAIN Database

IP2Location IP-COUNTRY-REGION-CITY-ISP-DOMAIN Database is a handy tool that helps you translate IP addresses—both IPv4 and IPv6—into useful information like the country, region, state, city, Internet Service Provider (ISP), company, or domain name. It’s super helpful for anyone who needs to know where an IP address is coming from!

How Does It Work?

This database lets users find all the details mentioned above for any given IP address by following a few simple steps. It all starts with getting the IP addresses from either networking protocols or server-side variables on the web server.

Understanding Your Data

Once it has the IP address, it translates this into an IP number using the IP2Location database. This step is crucial because it helps pinpoint the geographical location tied to that IP address.

Format Options Available

The database comes in two formats: ASCII Text File (comma delimited) or BIN (API). It includes over 111,000 cities and contains fields covering origin and destination IPs. You’ll also find codes for country names, region names, city names, ISPs, and domains all in one place!

Important Standards to Know

If you’re concerned about standards when handling data, it’s good to know that this database uses two-character country codes and names based on ISO 3166 standards. This ensures accuracy and consistency across records.

The Conversion Process

The process of converting an IP address into an IP number uses a unique formula. This formula not only makes conversion easy but also helps users isolate specific records while searching within the database.
