I would like to know where my server is physically based. Is there tools that are available to get this informations (latitude/longitude) from command line (GNU/Linux) ?

    I've told you, you can have the server location when you transfer the funds. Any more stunts and I'll start pulling disks, understand? – Dan May 09 '12 at 14:50

Unless it has a working GPS tracker, no you can't really. What you can do:

  • lookup your IP (it offers you geographic data to whom it is issued and sometimes where it is approximately is located)
  • ask you service provider

Ask your host. If they won't tell you, or if you don't trust them to provide a true answer, it's time to get a new host.

If it's a virtual server then it may well be pointless finding this out as this may change. In fact your server may even be moving location several times a day as some virtual hosting suppliers use a 'follow the sun' system to reduce their power bills.

  • You're right cause I've already tried www.ripe.net to find it: ripe.net gives a main location, plus several minor locations. – smonff May 09 '12 at 14:48

No, but it may be possible to work it out via your IPs from Ripe. www.ripe.net. You can also get a sense of where it is going from traceroutes if you suspect your server is hosts in the Asias, for example.
