IP address map to country?

[Sharp]

Is there a way to find out what country my users are coming from in ASP? I know how to get the user's IP address with Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_ADDR"), but how do I know which country does this IP belong to?


Yours,

Welcome to the forums Sharp

There are several companies offering paid databases, which map IP ranges to geographical location. These databases are updated usually 4-6 times a year.

Your second option is to create your own geo/IP database, using publicly available data:

Let me know if you need more information.

Thanks Peter

I think I'll go with the second option and create the geo-to-IP database myself. I'll be back here if I need any help with the database .
