Hi Alberto,

We use the IP2Location database
http://www.ip2location.com/?rid=744
(We're an affiliate, so we get some commission if you use the link above when you buy something. It doesn't cost you anything extra.)

The database is updated regularly and starts from $49 per server per year. The cost goes up depending on how much information you want about the IP address. So for example if you want just country, that's $49. If you want country, and region and city then it's $199 per year. Assuming you're actually doing something with this information it's remarkably cheap.

We also have some code already written to import their database into clarion files (ie a Dict, import routines and so on.) If there was a demand for that we could release it. (hmm - I guess we could release it for free to people who'd bought using the link above...)

Cheers
Bruce
