# Why does it say my server is located elsewhere?

{% hint style="info" %}
We get our IP's from RIPE & ARIN, RIPE is the European RIR for IP addresses. We then transfer and geo-locate our IP's over to the US and announce the IP's at the US datacenter. 

Our ARIN IPs may also say that they're from different locations (CA/MX). Google and Amazon may take months to update locations. 

The announcement takes a couple weeks to geo-locate the IP addresses. Please make sure to use proxies for optimal speeds. Note that amazon and some other databases only update every 6-12 months. \

Note that your server is in the location of sale. If you buy a VA server then it will be a server physically located in VA.
