Your data is complex, but your data provider shouldn’t be

With billions of IPs and thousands of insights within each address, managing IP data today can be a challenge in itself. Why choose a provider that makes the process more difficult? IP2Location offers no fewer than 37 different options for data download, which seems like a grand choice, but can instead lead to confusion and lock-in for a package that is missing crucial data.

A trustworthy source for when accuracy counts… and accuracy always counts

When a provider builds a database of IP metadata and relies upon WHOIS data to verify accuracy, they are, in fact, relying upon strangers to keep their data accurate. Strangers who may have moved on to other jobs. Strangers who may be purposely obfuscating this data, or who have just forgotten it’s even there.

WHOIS data is unreliable, so IPinfo goes beyond what other providers offer and uses a worldwide network of probes to not only accurately locate and classify IP addresses, but also keep them freshly updated on a daily basis.

Here is just one example of how “good enough” is never good enough for IPinfo:

On the left, IP2Location has pinned this IP address to Wellington, New Zealand. On the right, IPinfo locates this same IP address 18,560 km away in Frankfurt, Germany. How can we be so sure we are correct? Our probes from various locations around the world constantly measure ping and other network metrics, so unless our pings exceed the speed of light*, empirical measurements show this IP address must be located in or near Frankfurt.

*Our probes are quite impressive, but the speed of light is absolute. We’re working on it, though.
