Track the Location of an IP address

Technical Tips – Track the Location of an IP address

Sometimes you may need to find out the exact location of an IP address. For example, if you want to find out the location of an email sender who is flooding with junks or you may want to find the location of proxy servers sometimes. To find out the exact location of the IP you should perform a location lookup. There are many sites/services that can do this. My favorites are GeoBytes IP Locator and IP2Location.

GeoBytes shows a Google map of city, along with a bunch of other information like country, city, latitude, longitude, distance to nearby cities, etc. along with the about the location itself.

IP2Location also  offers the name of the Internet Service Provider(ISP).

If you want more information on an IP address, you can do a WHOIS search also. ARIN WHOIS Database gives you information on who hosts a certain IP address and their registration information.
