I have static webpage. In that page I want to get the ISP provider & location of a user, using JavaScript.

Is there any way to do this using only JavaScript, or will I need to use other tools to do so?

• With only a static webpage (and no third-party services) you wouldn't be able to get the IP of the user using Javascript (so that you can find their location/ISP), as far as I know. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. – Qantas 94 Heavy Commented Mar 13, 2013 at 11:36

It's not possible to detect the ISP provider using only JavaScript, if you would be willing to use PHP however, it's very simple:

<?php 
  $hostname = gethostbyaddr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']); 
  echo $hostname; 
?>

you can call http://ip-api./json by a Get http request and the response is a json containing user's IP data including "isp"

You can get the geo location using geo location API. I don't think it is possible to get the ISP using JavaScript on the client.
