So, we've seen how we can get the Country of a Visitor to our website using a free database & a few lines of simple ASP code.
This technique can be implemented in many ways, it just ask for your creativity.
As I mentioned in the starting, there are quite a few services available for obtaining the Country from an IP Address. Not only that, if you don't mind paying, you can also get the State, City, ISP, Currency, etc of the Visitor. This kind of database is available for a fee at www.ip-to-location.com.
Also available on their website is a component through which you can look up the country, state, city, isp, etc.of the visitor without actually buying the database & hosting it on your web-server, since the database containing that much amount of information is quite bulky.

First of all,you should get a database which includes all countries IP details.
and then convert IP address to decimal to find the exact country name by the decimal .
I hope that this article can be used for you

If your wondering why "strIP = Request.ServerVariables("HTTPREMOTEADDR")" returns no IP address change it too "strIP = request.servervariables("REMOTE_ADDR")" and this will now work !
