IP to location lookup

[Mike]

Hi all,

I'm developing an ASP.NET 2.0 site that require to lookup the visitor's country based on the IP.

Is there any free, simplest way to implement (using a web service, maybe) this thing?

Please advise.

Many thanks in advance,
Mike

There's a free ip->country db at http://www.hostip.info/

MaxMind's GeoIP :

http://www.maxmind.com/app/ip-location

The APIs are at : http://www.maxmind.com/app/api
Check it out. If you like it, you may want to purchase their service.

You might also want to check out IP-to-country.
You can download their DB here : http://www.webhosting.info/

They require you to create an account.

You might want to use the IP2Location .NET Control for .NET 2.0.

That one tells me I'm in Miami...but I am not there.

Another consideration is that both MaxMind and IP-to-country
have free services which you can use, besides a for-pay product,
while IP2Location doesn't offer any free services.

Don't use this - it's utter rubbish.
