Hello
Let’s say that my Droplet IP is 188.226.224.1 (well, in fact it is my Gateway)
In some webs, they say that I am in the Russian Federation: Example: http://dawhois.com/ While others, in Netherlands: Example: http://www.whereisip.net/ http://www.super-ping.com/
In this page: http://www.iplocation.net/ you can see that the IP2Location, IPligence and IPAddressLabs services locate the IP in Amsterdam, while MaxMind-GeoLiteCity locate the IP in the Russian Federation.
I know that it is not a big issue as the Droplet is really in Netherlands. But because of Data Protection Law and Privacy and Electronic Communications EU Directive, I should have the server in Europe (and also provide confidence to my customers that it is really in Europe)
Probably you should make an inquiry to MaxMind Geolocation services to update their database. Should I open a ticket ?
Thanks
Roger
