I use Geolocating services to see where my server seems to be residing, and it is resolving to New York. But the server is actually a cloud-server located in the Netherlands. The hosting company is adamant that it is actually in the Netherlands, but I recently received a DMCA complaint for something my users were doing. I bought it in the Netherlands to avoid stuff like this, but if it appears to be in the US for everyone else, it could impact my business. I am also confident that I would not have received the complaint if the server actually traced to the Netherlands. How do I trace an IP and actually get the location? My server company is DigitalOcean, if that matters. This seems to be unique to them.
I've tried these services: http://www.maxmind.com/en/geoip_demo http://www.geocodeip.com/ http://ipinfodb.com/ip_locator.php
I've contacted support and they just tell me that RAIN might use their office location in NYC as the location of the server, not it's actual location. How can I get around this and actually get the server to indicate it is in the Netherlands?
