Why is my server/VPS showing the wrong location?
You may find that when you look up your server's/VPS's location on a site like iplocation.net, that it shows to be in a different location than you had requested for the product.
This is because the IP that is assigned to the server/VPS has not had its Geolocation updated yet. However, your server/VPS is physically located in the location you have requested, and this physical location is where the signal is directly coming from. The virtual location of the IP associated with the server has no effect on performance at all.
