Know The Geographical Location Of An IP Address From Desktop

If for any reason, you want to know the location of an IP address, it’s geographical position, latitudes or longitudes, here is a desktop utility for Windows which will be useful.

Known as IP Locator – the program can be used to track the IP address of anyone or find the complete information regarding any IP address on a Google Map. The program can also be used to find the ISP (Internet service provider) of a domain, host name or the WHO Is information of any website from desktop.

Application: There are times when you may want to know the exact location of an IP address on a world map. For example: I regularly receive spam and vulgar comments on this blog which does not contain a valid email address. In most of the cases, I simply delete the spam comments because reading each and every spam comment can kill your time and productivity.

But when you receive strange emails from your site’s contact form, I use this utility to know the location of the commentator. It works like this – the comment or email tells me what is the IP address of the sender. Now to know the actual location of the IP address or hostname , all I have to do is enter the complete IP address in the IP locator window.

The program works with Windows7, Windows Vista and Windows XP. Give IP Locator a try and let us know which tool do you use to track the location of an IP address or to know more information regarding a web host.
