    Hi,

    I need to implement a country based redirection using the visitor's IP address as reference.

    I did some googling and found that some sites are offering an IP-Country database for about $50, some have a monthly Update charges too and some are offering it free.
    I am confused... which ones to choose.

    If the sites offering free list do not update, then my efforts of developing the code is wasted..
    If paid sites do not update, then my money & efforts are wasted.

    I am looking for feedback from users who are currently using such redirection database and their experiences.

    I need a list which is regularly updated... and nothing better if its free
    Where do these people get such a list !!!!

    I look forward to member's views & suggestions.

    Thank you.

    regards,
    Sandeep

    Their website says the above and this gets me worried....

    Either their Free database is Inaccurate and they are warning users of the same.
    Or they are persuading users to opt in for the paid version... a marketing move ;)

    Any comments ?

    Thx

    If you want me to code the script for I can, It will be able to redirecte country based using the visitor's IP address as reference.

    Suppose you want to redirect the USA Traffic to another page, I can do this codeing and you will not need any country database.

    PM for query.

    What that basically means is that some ISP route their traffic in incredible stupid patterns. If you read on down that page, they clarify what they mean by accuracy:

    Basically GeoIP Lite does not accommodate for the stupid traffic routing, GeoIP Country does.
