blagoj Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 Hello, I am considering to signup for hosting plan with Hawk Host, but I want to be on Washington's datacenter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 On our order form it asks you what location you'd like so you can select Washington DC. Also make sure you're talking about the right Washington. There is Seattle, Washington where Washington is the state and there is Washington DC where Washington is the city. Seattle is on the west coast and Washington is on the east coast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 You are showing up as being on a server that is in Washington DC. Keep in mind the geo IP will not be accurate as it's based off of IP ownership not actual location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedturtle Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 Hi blagoj, I had the same issue when I first started. What you can do is to trace the route to your IP address using: Start > Run > cmd > tracert 999.999.999.999 where 999.999.999.999 is your IP address (e.g. 208.43.36.67 is HH's IP address) You should see "washingtondc-datacenter" just before reaching your server. Hope this helps. It's funny how some of us end up "blaming" Hawk Host for not giving us what we wanted for our server location when it's really the ambiguous geo IP at fault.

kanito Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 You can use "tracert youdomain.com", or use IP geo positioning tool to get the server position. Each datacenter has unique IP range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
