My system has a daily job to collect and aggregate the IP Blocks distributed by the five registrars into a single database, and then provide high-level WHOIS information for this data. If you want to try this yourself, the interface here.
On an extremely irregular basis, I aggregate the statistics from this data, and present it to the masses for the examination. I might actually automate this data someday!So, for August 2007 (as of August 21, 2007), here are the aggregated IP distribution statistics broken down by registrar and country.
Starting with the country data, I figured that a sane cutoff for values would be 1,000,000 IP addresses. The list here is mostly unchanged, except for the addition of the European Union (EU). The EU is a recent addition, as it was not listed in the Country Code lookup table I had been using, and had to be added manually on August 20, 2007.

IP-Country Database Information Offline Permanently
I have been getting a great deal of interest in the IP-to-Country data that I have been working on over the last few years. However, I have had to take this data down from my site.
- The bandwidth costs are starting to become noticeable
- My old hardware is starting to creak under the weight
- There are commercial sources for this data, and frankly, I say more power to them if they can make money of this; I sure haven’t
It’s been a depressing week here in the Newest Industry Factory, and we are starting to have to dim the lights in some corners, turn off some of the machines, and [gulp!] consider other drastic measures.
To paraphrase the Bare Naked Ladies: “All this food ain’t free”.
I apologize for the inconvenience, and hope that I can re-activate these pages in the future.
UPDATE: GrabIP is now back up, but limited to 5 requests in a 24-hour period.
