Welcome to the Atelier Web IP Locator (AWIPLOC)!


INTRODUCTION
============

There is no good rule of thumb to determine the geolocation of Internet IP addresses.
While some IP blocks tend to belong to certain countries, other IP blocks are distributed in an almost anarchic fashion.
Moreover, the IP distribution is not static but in a continuous mutation with new additions, reallocations and deletions.

AWIPLOC allows you to resolve IPs to Country, City, Region and ISP by providing instant access to our 4GB online databases with more than 28 million IPv4 and IPv6 ranges (values of May 2016).

Our databases are fully indexed and the access is made through an industrial strength blazingly fast multithreaded ISAPI server supporting hundreds of simultaneous connections.
You will be surprised by the fastness of the responses.

You are not limited to request information about a single IP address at a time, you can request information about multiple IPs at the same time up without limits.
The response is sent to you in a tightly compressed format and the query is done at rates that can reach values well above 300 queries per second.


REQUIREMENTS
============

* PC compatible with Pentium IV or higher.
* Runs with minimum operating system required RAM
* From Windows 2000 to the latest operating system (Windows 10, at the date of this writing).
* Display adapter with 800x600 resolution or better and 256 colors (High Color or True Color recommended).


INSTALLING AND USING AWIPLOC
============================

When you unzip the distribution you must run the Setup.exe to install the program.
Unless you are behind a company proxy server, you don't need to do anything to start using the program.
Simply enter the IPs (you can enter them in five different ways, including typing them by hand) and press the Search button.
If you are behind a proxy, you may configure your access, from the Settings menu.

PURCHASING
==========

This program is free for occasional private use.
Every user is provided with an automatic credit of 200 IP searches for the first 30 days of usage.
When this credit expires and if more than 30 days have elapsed since he/she has made the first IP search another 50 IP search credit is automatically added to the account.
When this second credit expires and if more than 30 days have elapsed from the date he/she started using it, another 50 IP search credit is automatically added, and so on.

This means that every user has a maximum credit of 750 free IP searches on the first year, which is more than the average person will ever require.

Professional or demanding users will find that our software is up to their requirements.
We do not use slow technologies like .Net or Java, we use a high-performance full-time-in-memory Isapi server which accesses multiple fully indexed databases without any intermediate tiers.

We sell IP search credits in packets of 50,000, 250,000, 1,000,000, 10,000,000 and 100,000,000.
All packages have the best price you can find on the market.

IP search credits have no time validity, you can use them at your own pace.
