Enter any public IP address or domain. Looking up your own IP by leaving this blank is not supported because the request runs on our server.

How to use IP Geolocation Lookup

The IP Geolocation Lookup estimates where an IP address or domain is physically located and which network operates it. Enter a value such as 8.8.8.8 or example.com and the tool returns the country and country code, region, city, postal code, approximate latitude and longitude, timezone, and the internet service provider, organization, and autonomous system (AS) behind it. The query runs on our server against the ip-api.com database, so you can look up any public IP, not just your own. It is a fast way to investigate suspicious traffic, debug region-locked behaviour, or understand who hosts a given service — with no key or sign-up required.

  1. Type the IP address or domain you want to locate into the input field.
  2. Press "Locate IP" to run a live server-side lookup against the ip-api database.
  3. Read the country, region, city, postal code, and approximate coordinates.
  4. Review the ISP, organization, AS number, and timezone for the address.
  5. Try another IP or domain, or copy the details into your notes or ticket.

Your query is sent to ip-api.comto fetch results. We don't store it.

How IP geolocation works (and its limits)

IP geolocation does not read a GPS chip — it looks the address up in a database that maps blocks of IP addresses to the locations registered by the ISPs that own them. That makes country-level results highly reliable and city-level results usually good, but it is fundamentally an estimate. Mobile carriers route many users through a few regional gateways, corporate VPNs can place a user thousands of kilometres from their real desk, and some ranges are only registered to a head office. Treat the coordinates as the centre of a likely area rather than a precise pin, and never rely on IP geolocation alone for fraud decisions or legal compliance.

What ISP, organization, and AS mean

Alongside a location, the lookup returns the network identity of an address. The ISP is the internet service provider that delivers connectivity, while the organization is the entity the block is registered to — often the same as the ISP, but sometimes a hosting customer or a large company that runs its own range. The AS, or autonomous system, is a globally unique number (for example AS15169 for Google) identifying the network that announces the address to the internet’s routing tables. Together these fields tell you whether an address is a home broadband connection, a data-centre server, or part of a cloud provider, which is often more revealing than the city alone when you are tracing traffic.

ISP
Internet service provider — the company that supplies a connection to the address.
Autonomous system (AS)
A network with a unique AS number that announces IP ranges to the global routing table.
Country code
The two-letter ISO code (e.g. US, GB) for the country an IP is registered in.

Why use IP Geolocation Lookup?

  • Resolve any public IP address or domain to its estimated country, region, and city
  • See the ISP, organization, and autonomous system (AS) that owns the address
  • Get approximate coordinates and the timezone for the located network
  • Look up addresses other than your own — useful for investigating server or visitor IPs

Common use cases

  • Investigate the origin of a suspicious login or a spammy form submission
  • Find out which country and ISP a website or API server is hosted in
  • Debug why a user sees region-specific pricing, content, or language
  • Check whether an IP belongs to a hosting provider, VPN, or residential ISP
  • Estimate the timezone of a visitor before scheduling a callback or support chat
