IP Address Lookup
Location, network owner and ASN of any IP address or domain.
How to use the IP lookup
- Type an IPv4 address (like
8.8.8.8), an IPv6 address (like2606:4700:4700::1111) or a domain name (likeexample.com). - Press Look up. For a domain, the tool first finds the IP address the domain points to.
- Leave the field empty to see the details of your own connection.
The address stays in the page URL, so you can bookmark or share a lookup.
What the results mean
| Field | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Country, region, city | Where the address block is registered or used. The country is almost always right; the city is an estimate. |
| Network / ISP | The company that runs the network: an internet provider, a hosting company or a business. |
| ASN | The Autonomous System Number of that network, such as AS15169 for Google. What is an ASN? |
| Hostname | The reverse DNS name of the address, if one is set. It often names the provider or the server. |
| Connection type | Whether the address belongs to a home provider, a business, a data center, a VPN, a proxy or Tor. |
| Timezone and local time | The timezone of the estimated location. |
| Coordinates | The center of the estimated area, not the position of a device or building. |
How accurate is IP location?
IP geolocation is built from registration records, routing data and measurements, not from GPS. Expect:
- Country: correct for the vast majority of addresses.
- City: often correct for home broadband, often wrong for mobile networks, company networks and VPNs, which can route traffic through a city hundreds of kilometers away.
- Street address: never available. An IP address cannot be traced to a home or a person without a court order to the provider.

Private and special addresses
Addresses such as 192.168.1.10, 10.0.0.5 or 127.0.0.1 are private or reserved. They are used inside home and office networks and never appear on the public internet, so they have no location. The tool tells you which kind of address you entered. See public vs private IP addresses.
Frequently asked questions
Can I find someone's exact location from their IP address?
No. An IP lookup shows the approximate area and the provider that owns the address. Only the provider can link an address to a customer, and it shares that only with law enforcement under a legal order.
Why does the lookup show a different city than mine?
Your provider may route your traffic through a regional hub, or the location database may not have caught up with a recent change. Mobile data and VPN connections are the most common reasons.
Can I look up a website's IP address?
Yes. Enter the domain name and the tool resolves it to its IP address first. Large websites often use content delivery networks, so the address you see may belong to a data center near you rather than the company's headquarters.
Is this IP lookup free?
Yes. The tool is free to use without an account. To keep it fast for everyone, each visitor can make a limited number of lookups per minute.
