Overview

What is IP Geolocation?

IP Geolocation translates an IP address into physical location data — city, region, country, latitude, longitude, and more. It's the backbone of personalization, fraud detection, content localization, and compliance enforcement.

HostInfo's geolocation database is built from multiple authoritative sources and validated against real-world BGP routing data, achieving industry-leading accuracy at the city level for residential and commercial IPs alike.

Works with both IPv4 and IPv6
Accuracy radius per lookup for confidence scoring
Timezone and UTC offset included
Currency, calling code and language data
