This IP lookup tool provides additional information on the IP address that is being searched. Minute details, such as host names, geographic location information (includes country, region/state, city, latitude, longitude and telephone area code.), and a location specific maps, are provided by the IP lookup tool by using a commercially available geo location database.

While geo location is not 100% accurate in assessing the exact location of an IP address, especially in cases where a user hides their location through the use of a proxy server, geo location can give you a very good idea of where your website traffic is coming from. The IP lookup tool has a country accuracy of about 99%. For IP addresses that are issued from within the United States, IP lookup tools can get the state of the user accurately in 90% of searches and 81% accuracy for search results of a 25 mile radius. Globally, IP address searched through IP lookup are 60% accurate within 25 miles.

CorporationWiki IP Address Lookup tool

The IP Address Lookup tool is known by a host of different names, including IP Lookup, Lookup IP, Lookup IP Address, IP Address Location, IP Location and IP Locator. This useful tool exists to help website managers or builders find out where a particular IP Address located. When the details of an IP are entered in the look up tool, the results provided include the IP Address, Host Name, City, State or Region, the Postal or Zip Code, the Country Name and Code, Time Zone, Latitude, Longitude, ISP, Domain Name, Net Speed and IP Decimal. This information is useful in a number of different ways, which is why the tool is such a handy piece of software.

One of the biggest limitations of this IP Lookup tool is that it isn't always completely accurate. When an IP address owner purchases an address, due to factors such as the agency controlling the IP, the use of proxies, cellular IPs and so on, the results of a lookup may not reflect the true IP location. One good example of this is that many US Blackberry users on the Verizon network will appear to have Canadian IP addresses. This occurs because the controlling agency is located in Canada.

One common misconception is that using an IP address lookup tool will provide the physical postal address of the IP user. This is not the case however, as at this time, there is no known IP address database that provides postal addresses via an IP address lookup. When this tool is used, the best you could hope for is the details of the exact city where the IP address is located. In order to obtain an actual physical address, it would be necessary to contact the ISP (Internet Service Provider) of the IP address you are interested in.

Privacy of users would, however, mean that you would most likely be unable to narrow this information down any further without a police warrant, or legal document forcing the ISP to divulge that information. If you have received something from a particular IP address that was offensive or questionable and you wish this to end, then you could lodge a complaint with the ISP and ask them to assist you. While they may not provide you with the postal address where the electronic communication originated, they are certainly likely to help if you have a good case for their support.

Static IP Address VS. Dynamic IP Address

It is important that you understand this basic difference, as it plays a big role in the management of IP addresses and networking. A static IP is simply an IP address that will never change - hence it is static. A dynamic IP on the other hand is more dynamic, as the name suggests. Depending upon how the DHCP server which assigns the addresses is set up. Addresses could frequently change, or stay the same for up to a year at a time.
