Have you ever wanted to find out the Details of a particular IP Address? If so, this awesome blog will show you how to do it. There are many reasons why you may want to find out the details of any IP address; here are the best ways to do so.
IP2Location gives you detailed information about an IP address. Just visit http://www.ip2location.com/demo.aspx and enter the IP address. You get details like country, region, city, latitude, longitude, zip code, time zone, ISP, net speed, IDD code etc. You can also choose to see that location on a map.
To see the details of an IP address, just go to http://www.ip2location.com/0.0.0.0, where 0.0.0.0 = the IP address you want to search.
GeoBytes IPLocator also gives you all the details of any particular IP. Just go to http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm and enter the IP address to check. It shows details like country, region, city, coordinates etc as well as the location on Google Maps.
IP-Details.Com is another nice service which lets you access information like country, network, ISP, address, geographical co-ordinates etc of any legal IP address. Just key in the IP address in the search box and you get the details. It also shows the approximate location on a map. You can search for any IP directly by visiting http://www.ip-details.com/ip-search/0.0.0.0 where 0.0.0.0 is the IP address you want to search.

TinyURL has been in the game since the very beginning; it was probably the first service which kickstarted the whole URL shortening trend. It offers no extra features, just the basics – enter a long URL and get a TinyURL. You can also specify a custom URL like http://www.tinyurl.com/pathik
Bit.Ly is another popular URL shortening service. It offers much shorter URLs than TinyURL as well as custom URLs. It also offers URL tracking and statistics. You can track the number of clicks, referrers etc. To view the stats of your shortened URL – http://www.bit.ly/pathik, visit http://www.bit.ly/info/pathik
Is.Gd is a good alternative to the above two services, but it has no frills, just basic URL shortening. It doesn’t offer custom URLs, tracking etc, but is shorter than both Bit.Ly and TinyURL. http://is.gd/16vUZ
There are many more URL shortening services like Cli.gs, SnURL.com, zURL.ws etc, it doesn’t matter which you choose to use. I prefer to use Bit.Ly for the tracking features it provides. Plus, it is also the default Twitter URL shortener.
