IP Lookup
Enter an IP address to see its approximate location, timezone, and network provider.
Overview
This tool resolves an IP address to its approximate geolocation — country, region, city, and timezone — along with the internet service provider or hosting organization that owns it, using a free public IP geolocation service.
This is a different lookup than ASN Lookup or Reverse IP Lookup: ASN Lookup reports the registered Autonomous System and its RIR registration details, and Reverse IP Lookup reports the PTR/reverse-DNS hostname. This tool answers the more general "where is this IP and who operates it" question.

Use Cases
Investigating traffic from an unfamiliar IP
Get a quick sense of where a visitor, log entry, or abuse report is geographically coming from.
Identifying a hosting provider or ISP
See which organization operates a given IP address before digging further with ASN Lookup or WHOIS.
Tips
- IP geolocation is approximate — it reflects where the IP block is registered or routed, not necessarily the exact physical location of the device using it.
- For registry-level ASN/RIR details instead of geolocation, use ASN Lookup.
FAQ
IP geolocation is generally accurate at the country level and often the city level, but it reflects how the IP block is registered and routed — not GPS-precise, and can be off for mobile networks, VPNs, or corporate networks.
This lookup queries an external geolocation service on your behalf, so a quick bot check helps keep the tool available and responsive for everyone.
Results are cached briefly on the server to keep the tool fast and reduce load on the upstream service, then expire automatically — no lookup history is kept or shown to other users.
