Accurate IP Geolocation with Geofeed
Ensure your IP addresses resolve to the correct geographic location with RFC 8805 compliant Geofeed configuration. We handle the setup so major geolocation providers show the right location for your IPs.
Free Geofeed Setup for IPv4Center Lessees
When you lease IPv4 addresses through IPv4Center, Geofeed configuration is included at no additional cost. We automatically publish and maintain Geofeed records for all leased prefixes, ensuring accurate geolocation from day one.
Why Geofeed Matters
Accurate IP geolocation is critical for content delivery, compliance, and user experience
Correct IP Geolocation
Geofeed tells geolocation providers (MaxMind, IPinfo, Google, etc.) exactly where your IP addresses are located, eliminating incorrect location data.
RFC 8805 Compliance
Our Geofeed implementation follows the RFC 8805 standard, the industry-accepted method for IP address holders to self-publish their geolocation data.
Better Content Delivery
Accurate geolocation ensures CDNs route users to the nearest edge server, improving page load times and overall user experience for your services.
Regulatory Compliance
Correct geolocation is essential for GDPR, data sovereignty regulations, and location-based content licensing that depend on accurate IP-to-location mapping.
Reduced False Positives
Wrong IP geolocation can trigger fraud detection systems and block legitimate users. Geofeed eliminates these false positives by providing authoritative location data.
