IP lookup

The network owner, country, abuse contact and reverse name (PTR) of an IP.

Who owns IP addresses?

Five regional registries hand out IP addresses: ARIN for North America, RIPE NCC for Europe and the Middle East (Iran included), APNIC for Asia and the Pacific, LACNIC for Latin America and AFRINIC for Africa. Each records which company every block went to.

A reverse name (PTR) works the other way round from DNS: from IP to name. Mail servers and network tools use it to recognise an address. The network owner is rarely the end user; it is usually a provider, data centre or cloud company.
