What is IP Geolocation?
When any device (computer, mobile phone, TV, etc.) connects to the Internet, it is assigned a unique IP address used when visiting websites.
An IP geolocation service can determine your location by IP address, as well as details of your Internet provider/organization, and a type of connection.
Where IP geolocation is used:
1. Websites can show a language-specific content. For example, if you are located in the United States, the website’s content will be automatically displayed in English.
2. Search engines can show search results based on your geographic location, thus making them country-specific.
3. Show geographically-targeted advertisements and promotions to users.
4. Collect user statistics.
What information you can find by IP on our website?
