Commercial GeoIP databases estimate an IP address’s location. Their labels can differ from the VPS’s physical hosting location and can change independently of your service.

​
Sources are different

  • Registry/WHOIS information records allocation and registration data. Its country field is not definitive proof of where a server runs.
  • Commercial providers maintain their own location databases and correction processes.
  • A geofeed provides provider-published location information in the RFC 8805 format: prefix, country, region, city and postal code. It does not contain latitude/longitude columns.

Report a mismatch

Identify the exact database or website displaying the incorrect result, the IP address, the displayed location and your ordered VPS location. Send the evidence to support@edbb.com, and use the database vendor’s current official correction form where available. EDBB cannot guarantee when a third party will accept or distribute an update. Changing a PTR record alone does not update every location database. See IP location and correct geolocation.
