What this tool shows
Every IP address belongs to a network, and every network has an owner. This lookup takes an IP or a hostname and returns its approximate location, the autonomous system number that identifies the network, and the organization or hosting provider that operates it. It is useful for identifying where a service is hosted, investigating traffic in your logs, or checking who runs an address.
Frequently asked questions
What is an ASN?
An Autonomous System Number identifies a network on the internet, such as a hosting provider or ISP. Knowing the ASN tells you which organization routes traffic for an address, which is often more useful than the raw IP.
How accurate is IP geolocation?
It is accurate to the country almost always and to the city most of the time, but it reflects where the network registers the address, not the exact physical location of the device. Treat it as an approximation.
Can I look up a hostname instead of an IP?
Yes. Enter a hostname and the tool resolves it to an IP first, then looks up that address. This is handy when you know a domain but not the address behind it.
