How to redirect visitors based on IP country?

Do you know how to redirect your website visitors to different pages based on the country they are coming from?

I know you can easily track the country from the IP address, but do you know of any easy script to install to do it for you?

Because I need this for a very important project. I tried the famous IP2Location database but it was too complicated to install and you had to do everything step by step manually.

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance!

i think you can do it in .htaccess, try google the tutorial from the internet

 

Are you using php or asp? apache or IIS?

 

hello ladan,

how about checking this link: http://www.webweaver.nu/html-tips/web-redirection.shtml

 

It is simple enough to do, depending on if your using PHP/ Apache or .Net/IIS etc

Be aware that IP based redirection is only so good as there are several reasons why someones IP will appear to be in a different country to where they actually are - eg I used to work in the UK for an American company and so my work laptop would appear to have a USA IP

 

I use PHP and Apache.

 

Thank you. I did. It has helpful info about redirection, but nothing about how to recognize which country the IP is from.

That's the part actually I don't know how to do.

 

I hope it is simple as you said. I know the redirecting part is very easy, but is it also the IP country recognition part?

 

Ladan,

I think it is not so hard if you have any small PHP knowledge and ip2country database.

 

Ladan,

Have a look at:
*ttp://www.ip2location.com/articles/article2.htm

I think it will help you

 

this is what you need:

ttp://www.ip2location.com/articles/article2.htm - (its not my site BTW)

 

It is the easy part, get the IP (one line of code) and query it against the db to get their country.

 

I have found this site

Could anyone write a script for me to geotarget 2 countries? I don't have the skills to do this, I have an ad under the services category for this job, or please PM me.

Thanks.
