In regards to this article on the importance of IP addresses and how to best change your IP address, today I want to give you a heads-up on a new service from GlobalIPCheck.com that gives developers a free API to verify and check locations around the globe for users. This service also gives you an immediate look at where you are in the world, according to your IP address.

Services like Hulu, Netflix, Youtube, BBC, and many others rely on your IP address location to either ban or give you entry to their services. So, for example, if you are sitting in Shanghai but you want access to BBC, you can use a VPN provider to help change your IP address to make it appear as if you are in London. Then you will be able to see the BBC online!

So GlobalIPCheck.com gives you immediate free ability to see where it appears you are located.
