Fundamentals
What Is an ISP?
An Internet Service Provider (ISP) sells connectivity to the internet and assigns or routes public IP addresses for customers.
What IPLocator shows
When you look up an IP address, geolocation data may include:
- ISP name
- Organization name
- Approximate location
These values come from provider databases and routing registration data.
Accuracy limits
The organization shown may be a parent company, hosting provider, or mobile carrier gateway rather than an individual subscriber.
Use our ISP lookup tool to inspect these fields for any public IP.
