hello alex, first your conclusion is not true because this server is part of a CDN, so all websites inside are copys of the original. i will perform the requested tracert and send it tomorrow. fdcservers also provides ip transit regards 2017-03-18 20:46 GMT-03:00 Alexandre Leonenko <alex at esecuredata.com>: > Anssi is right, I don't see anywhere that they host in mexico. > > > All other geo IP lookup tools point to Denver US. > > Even using maxmind, It tells us ISP and Organization is fdcservers.net > > If we look here: https://www.fdcservers.net/network.php > > There is no mention of Mexico, but there is mention of Denver, US, where > other Geo IP's point to. > > > If you go directly to 204.45.61.61, it points to http://litehost.co/ Which > is located in Chicago, IL, US where traceroute from any location points to. > > Their website says "Our Tier 3 datacenter is located in Chicago, IL > ensuring 99.9% uptime."
