Server location via IP (geolocation incorrect)

Question: Why is my IP showing in Utah while i ordered VPS in Texas?

Answer: The best way to see where your server located is via traceroute as ARIN geoIP tags of some of Soflayer's IP has outdated location labels as these IPs are portable they can be moved from data center to data center without necessary need to notify ARIN to update their database.  Go to www.network-tools.com to do traceroute online and put your server's IP.

Note that some of our newly issued IP from ARIN requires sometime before the third party geolocation databases to harvest and update their database, trace route is the best way to find where your servers are hosted physically.
