I use the Maxmind Geo IP stuff. Have it installed on your server and then you can use PHP to guide your traffic.

thanks Andy but im not familiar with php code.. anyway to purchase something that is already ready to use ? should be pretty simple thing no?

You need something that is hosted on your server ideally, hence the Maxmind scripts.

Who do you use for hosting?

I thought Beyond Hosting will do it for you. In fact, I thought beyond Hosting had the Maxmind stuff already installed. Have you asked them?

Hey @affkilla, have you contacted @BeyondHosting-Tyler on here?

He is from Beyond Hosting!

Just use Maximinds GeoIP, it's simple and free.

WarriorForum has a good walkthrough over everything you need:

that is what I have recommened to @affkilla but I don't think he feels technically up to it. However, I am sure Tyler told me that Beyond have it Pre-Installed! I may be wrong of course!

This is the post I used to help me install the Maxmind stuff:

If he's with BeyondHosting it's as simple as starting a support ticket asking them to install the geoip extension and Maxmind databases.

Just confirmed with Support at Storm and they also will install Maxmind Geolite for free. The support guy said "It is covered under our best-effort support meaning we do not support the configuration of it nor do we guarantee that it will be compatible or that we can fix it/install it but we will do our best." But what more can you ask for free.

Awesome!
