Real website location (IP problem)

    My problem is that http://www.selfseo.com/find_ip_address_of_a_website.php shows that "takso.ee" is located at Italy but I really should be Estonia. I contacted web hosting company and they said this site gives wrong result. I agree with this because http://network-tools.com/default.asp?prog=express&host=217.146.69.11 shows its Estonian IP and ping takso.ee also gives only 217.146.69.11. But this selfseo.com software isnt the only one what gives to location Italy (maybe they all have same wrong database but still ...). So my question would be that is there some site what has 100% correct website location results?

    results depend on the database they use

    maxmind GEOIP and Ip2Location are the most widespread,so you can convert domain to IP and check both databases

    Ip2Location: http://www.ip2location.com/demo.aspx for 217.146.69.11 gives Estonia,Tallinn
    GeoIP: http://www.maxmind.com/app/locate_ip for 217.146.69.11 gives Estonia,Tallinn

    Well maybe they use an older version of the ip to country db
