IP2Location.com Releases new IP country database with Elevation and Usage Type

SARASOTA, Fla. - April 19, 2013 - PRLog -- Geolocation and geo targeting are becoming increasingly popular these days, especially with e-commerce merchants. IP2Location geolocation database products help in discovering geographic location of an IP address.

IP2Location.com provides a solution to determine the country, region or state, city, latitude and longitude, US ZIP code, time zone, area code, and elevation of the origin for any IP address in a few simple steps. First, retrieve the IP address from the networking protocol or server-side variable of the Web server. Next, translate the IP address to an IP number in decimal format to speed up the database query. Lastly, reverse lookup the IP number from the IP2Location™ database to pinpoint the exact geographical location.

Today, IP2Location.com is glad to announce the new release of four databases with extensive data, DB21, DB22, DB23 and DB24 into the IP2Location’s award-winning product series.
