Location Sensitive Web Site Splash Page

I need to organise my companies websites so that depending on the location of a user they get redirected to a country specific version of the site e.g.

  • US Users get redirected to a US specific page
  • UK users get redirected to a UK specific page.

I've seen this done plenty of times but am not sure how its implemented. I'm thinking some sort of IP address lookup?

Basically I want to know how to achieve this and if there are any .NET/C#/JavaScript utilities that could assist.

+5  A: 

Yes, this is normally done via IP lookups - this is called GeoIP, or Geo Locating.

Here is a related question - asking for good providers that are cost effective.

Check http://www.hostip.info/

The have an IP lookup service.

You could also use the accept-locale request header... but it can be misleading.
