📍 IP Location Lookup
Look up the location, ISP, ASN and timezone behind any IP address.
What an IP lookup tells you
Every device connected to the internet uses an IP address, and those addresses are handed out in blocks to internet providers, hosting companies and large organisations. Because the blocks are registered geographically, a public database can usually say which provider owns an address, which network (ASN) announces it, and roughly where it is used, down to the city in many cases. This tool reads that public registration and routing data for any IPv4 or IPv6 address you enter.
Legitimate reasons to look an address up
- Security logs, an unfamiliar address in your server or firewall logs: the ISP, country and ASN tell you quickly whether it is a known cloud provider, a residential connection, or a network with a reputation for scanning.
- Debugging, confirming a DNS change now points at the right host, or that your office traffic really exits in the country your provider claims.
- Fraud and abuse reports, the ISP shown here operates the abuse contact for the address if you need to report spam or attacks.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is IP geolocation?
Country level is very reliable. City level is right most of the time but can be off by tens of kilometres, because an address locates to where the provider registered the block, not to the device itself. Treat coordinates as a rough area, never a doorstep.
Can I find out who owns an IP address personally?
No. A lookup shows the organisation the block is assigned to, usually the ISP. The individual customer's identity is known only to that ISP and is released only through legal process.
What is an ASN?
An Autonomous System Number identifies a whole network, such as an ISP or a cloud provider, in global routing. One provider can run several ASNs, and big networks like Google's (AS15169) announce millions of addresses under one number.
Why does a server IP show a different country than the company?
The address locates to the data centre and the network registration, not the company's office. A British shop hosted on a German server will geolocate to Germany, which is normal.
