Questions people ask
What infrastructure does IPGeolocation use to provide fast and reliable service?
IPGeolocation's infrastructure includes multiple redundant data nodes hosted on AWS and edge nodes hosted on Cloudflare. The data nodes load the complete IP Location database in hot memory to provide fast IP lookups without disk reads. Both types of nodes are globally deployed across multiple geographic locations including the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Germany, France, India, Japan, Singapore, Australia and more across five continents. User requests are routed to the nearest combination of edge and data nodes using Cloudflare's DDoS-protected load balancer. This setup enables 99.99% uptime SLA.
What is included in the free plan versus the paid plan?
The free plan is perfect for evaluation and lightweight production with no card required and a clear daily limit. It includes 1 credit per request and core modules like location, country metadata, currency, ASN, and time zone. The paid plan unlocks full context with advanced modules including hostname, network, security, company, abuse, and user agent, plus richer geolocation details like locality and accuracy radius. The paid plan is ideal for production-grade intelligence and automation workflows.
