We should have many webmasters who like to query where the IP address is through tools after purchasing VPS, including when we see the IP addresses of other users' machines, we will also check where the machines they use are the machine rooms and business opportunities. Many times, we will find that the location of the computer room shown in the query tool is different from that of the computer room we bought. For example, we sometimes buy VPS hosts in American computer rooms, and the address shown in the query tool is Canada.
For example, if we use Vultr's machine room in Japan, the IP address query is in the United States, but the real machine room is in Japan, and the speed of opening is far faster than that of the United States. Then why does such a problem arise?
Why does IP show other regions?
Most of our query tools are from ARIN's IP data registry. These IP addresses were originally sold in the region we queried. For example, we saw that the IP address was Japan's IP address, which was originally purchased from the United States. After exiting the Japanese computer room, we did not buy your IP in the local computer room, but instead bought your IP in the local computer room After migration, this method can save costs. Today's IPV4 resources are scarce, and the IP resources in Asia are also relatively expensive. So many times we see the machine rooms in Japan and Hong Kong, but the IP queries show that this is not the case.
How to query the real IP address?
When we buy a virtual host/VPS, we can't look at the machine room purchase. We need to look at their WinMTR In this way, we can see whether the IP tracking is direct or bypass. For example, many of our merchants' data centers in Singapore actually bypass the United States, not direct, so many machines in Singapore machine rooms are slower than those in the United States. Similarly, when we purchase VPS from the United States and Japan, we can check their test IP, tracking and ping speed to see whether the speed is really excellent.
Does such IP address affect the website?
I met a friend who is a website maker and is going to use the VULTR Japanese machine. Seeing that the IP address is from the United States, they think that the search engine will judge it to be from other regions, which will have an impact on the website. Of course, Lao Zuo believes that everyone has their own methods and judgment, which has no impact from the perspective of normal thinking. As long as we ensure the stability and speed of the machine, there is no problem about where the IP address is. Because we also see that many VPS websites in the United States do well, and some websites on domestic machines do poorly.
In a word, the IP address query tool can query to a certain extent, but it is not accurate. Because the ARIN database is relatively slow to update, the transferred IP may not be updated to other computer rooms, or it may be updated for a period of time. Lao Zuo is not very clear. We really need to see the speed and tracking to be correct.
