IP Address and Geolocation: Complete Guide

Your IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique identifier assigned to each device connected to the internet. When you ask "what is my IP" or wonder about your internet location, our service instantly determines both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses of your device.

What is an IP address and why should you know it?

An IP address serves as your device's digital passport on the internet. Knowing your IP can be useful for:

  • Network equipment and firewall configuration
  • Connection troubleshooting
  • VPN service verification
  • Remote access setup
  • Understanding your network geographic location

Types of IP addresses: IPv4 and IPv6

Modern networks use two main types of IP addresses:

IPv4 — classic format (e.g., 192.168.1.1), consisting of four groups of numbers. This is the most common type of address you see when searching for "my IP address".

IPv6 — new standard (e.g., 2001:db8::1), which solves the IPv4 address shortage problem and provides better security.

IP Geolocation: How it works

Our IP location detection service uses data from leading geolocation information providers:

Geolocation data sources:

  • MaxMind GeoLite2 (maxmind.com) — one of the most accurate geolocation databases
  • IP2Location LITE (ip2location.com) — extensive database with detailed ISP information
  • Sypex Geo (sypexgeo.net) — fast and reliable geolocation
  • DB-IP Lite (db-ip.com) — current data on location and providers

Using multiple data sources allows us to provide the most accurate information about your location, time zone, internet service provider and other network parameters.

Privacy and Security

We do not store your IP addresses or transfer them to third parties. All information is processed locally and displayed only to you. The service works completely anonymously and does not require registration.

Technical Information

In addition to the main IP address, our service provides additional technical information:

  • ISP — the company providing you internet access
  • ASN — Autonomous System Number of your provider
  • Hostname — domain name associated with your IP address
  • Time Zone — determined based on geographic location
  • ZIP Code — approximate ZIP code of your region

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How to find my IP address?

+

Simply visit our MyIP.help website — your IP address will be displayed automatically on the main page. We show both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses if available.

Why is my location showing incorrectly?

+

IP geolocation determines the location of your internet service provider's servers, not your exact physical location. VPN usage, mobile internet, or ISP network infrastructure peculiarities can affect accuracy.

What does "private IP address" mean?

+

Private IP addresses (e.g., 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x) are used in local networks and are not visible on the internet. If a private IP is displayed, it means you are connected through a local network or corporate proxy.

Is this service safe to use?

+

Yes, absolutely safe. We do not store your IP addresses, do not use tracking cookies, and do not transfer data to third parties. All processing happens locally in your browser.

Can I hide my IP address?

+

Yes, you can use VPN services, proxy servers, or Tor browser for this. These tools mask your real IP address, showing the address of an intermediate server instead.

What is IPv6 and do I need it?

+

IPv6 is the new version of the internet protocol that solves the IPv4 address exhaustion problem. If your provider supports IPv6, you may have two IP addresses simultaneously. IPv6 provides better performance and security.

Why do different databases show different data?

+

Different geolocation data providers (MaxMind, IP2Location, Sypex Geo, DB-IP) use various information collection methods and update their databases at different times. We show data from all sources so you can compare and get the most accurate picture.

How often does IP address change?

+

This depends on your internet service provider. Many providers assign dynamic IP addresses that can change when rebooting the router or at certain time intervals. Static IP addresses remain unchanged.

What is WHOIS and what is it used for?

+

WHOIS is a public database that stores information about registered domain names. It allows you to find out who owns a domain, when it was registered, when it expires, and which nameservers it uses. This information is useful for verifying website legitimacy, contacting domain owners, or checking domain availability.

How can I find out who owns a domain?

+

Enter the domain name in our search form to get WHOIS information. The results may include the registrant's name, organization, and contact details. However, many domain owners use privacy protection services (WHOIS Privacy), which hide personal data in compliance with GDPR and other privacy regulations.

What do domain statuses mean (clientTransferProhibited, etc.)?

+

Domain statuses (EPP status codes) indicate the current state of a domain. Common statuses include: clientTransferProhibited (transfer to another registrar is blocked), clientDeleteProhibited (deletion is blocked), serverHold (domain is suspended), and active/ok (domain is functioning normally). These statuses protect domains from unauthorized changes.

How can I check when a domain expires?

+

The WHOIS lookup shows the domain expiration date in the "Expiry Date" or "Registry Expiry Date" field. If the domain is not renewed before this date, it may become available for registration by others. Many registrars send renewal reminders to domain owners.

Why doesn't WHOIS show the owner's data?

+

Many domain owners use WHOIS Privacy protection services that hide personal information. Additionally, since GDPR came into effect in 2018, registrars in many countries are required to hide personal data of individuals. Instead of real data, you may see the registrar's contact information or a message about data protection.

What are nameservers (NS)?

+

Nameservers (NS) are servers that store DNS records for a domain and direct traffic to the correct web server. When you enter a website address, nameservers tell your browser where to find that site. They are usually provided by your hosting provider or DNS service (e.g., Cloudflare, Google DNS).

How can I check the age of a domain?

+

The WHOIS lookup shows the domain creation date in the "Creation Date" field. Domain age can be an indicator of website trustworthiness — older domains are often considered more reliable. However, age alone doesn't guarantee legitimacy, as old domains can be purchased and used for new projects.

What is a domain registrar?

+

A domain registrar is a company accredited to sell and manage domain names. Examples include GoDaddy, Namecheap, Porkbun, and REG.RU. The registrar is different from the hosting provider — the registrar only manages domain registration, while hosting stores website files. You can have your domain with one company and hosting with another.
