: Looking for free, specific Ip2Location Database I am searching for a free db (like an updated XML or CSV file) that relates IP addresses to specific locations. I want more information than just

@Murphy175

There are many IP to Location databases/services there, but going for free will cost in limited number of API calls, and features (paid one gives comparatively more). Freeness of service and the accuracy of service is inversely proportional to each other. Listed below are some services arranged by accurate (or more feature) to free:



MaxMind

Offers features like: Country Code, Country Name, Region as well as province/state name, city, postal code, latitude, longitude, ISP. Their databases are bigger. You can know more about it at www.maxmind.com/app/lookup_city
Geo I/O

Offers location (City, State, Country), latitudes and longitudes, ISP, Zip Code and Area code. Only the downside is it limits the API calls to 1000 perday. It also have some paid plans. You can get it @ www.geoio.com/
NetIP

It offers city, country, postal code, latitude and longitude. You can directly make a call at www.netip.de/search?query=$ip. It has obsolete database IMO. Similar is api.hostip.info?ip=x.x.x.x


Each services has their own updside and downside. Its upon you to choose. In my personal view the Geo I/O is better of all.
