Investigating Netlify Server Location and Region

I investigated the location, region, and other details of servers hosting on Netlify, so I’ll introduce the procedure.

*.netlify.com Server IP Address Investigation

First, I’ll investigate the IP address of the server hosting *.netlify.com.

As an example, the results of executing nslookup and traceroute commands for nuxtjs-spa-sandbox.netlify.com that I use are as follows:

Usage Example nslookup

$ nslookup nuxtjs-spa-sandbox.netlify.com
Server:    192.168.100.1
Address:  192.168.100.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:  nuxtjs-spa-sandbox.netlify.com
Address: 206.189.89.118

Usage Example traceroute

$ traceroute nuxtjs-spa-sandbox.netlify.com
traceroute to nuxtjs-spa-sandbox.netlify.com (206.189.89.118), 64 hops max, 52 byte packets

I found that the IP address is 206.189.89.118.

Investigating with ip2location Based on IP Address

According to ip2location.com, the server location for IP Address 206.189.89.118 appears to be Singapore.

That’s all from the Gemba on wanting to understand at least the location country of the servers we use.
