Yes. However, sometimes it can be hard to find RIPE subnets from trustworthy LIRs, hence why we decided to just use ARIN subnets from LIRs back when we got them. If we were to get more subnets now, th

I must agree with @zGato here. MaxMind, etc., don't matter much to me. They're just one of many privately owned databases.

It's hard for hosts who don't own subnets, as well as for hosts who offer more locations. If you want to be sure about proper geolocation, it's best to buy from a local hosting company/LIR, but this o

There are plenty of hosts that, for example, use ARIN IPs in the RIPE region. While they may be able to set up proper geolocation entries in small private databases like MaxMind or IP2Location, they w

I believe InterLIR is the maintainer for that subnet since we rent it, which is why we hadn't updated it yet.

so here i am a newbie and i seeks advice from sellers and experienced users about owning a /24 block under my name.

I'll see if I can get this corrected, though something to note that MaxMind also places our other IPs in Netherlands (45.61.161.1 and 204.10.194.1) even though there is no indication that they belong

When I rent a VPS in Germany to run a bouncer or a couple of eggdrops, I expect them to be able to connect to stable local German IRCnet servers not to random servers that may or may not accept improp

The ip address really from Germany according provider, if buyer and cloudflare relies on third parties databases for ip location info, it's their own problem, not providers.

When I buy a server that is located in Germany, I expect it to be geolocated to Germany too. But it isn't a hard requirement. I think OP should've made things more clear that German IP is a hard requi

I‘ve implemented a Smart DNS Service in my VPN service, to unblock all the streaming sites like Netflix, Disney+ etc. Works pretty fine. Still I wonder, how do the others with their own servers do it?

All services are located in Nuremberg, Germany with our own hardware and switches. There is no tunneling or proxying going on. We are not intentionally offering IP addresses from a different country,

As a customer, I thought so too, but I see that the providers in this regard find me unfair.

When I rent a server from Germany, I expect the IP provided to be geolocated to Germany.

I don't know where these insinuations always come from that a Geo-IP database always shows the correct location of the server - the two have nothing to do with each other. We have purchased several IP

ETA is 30-60min for restore on the DC side apparently.
