6I've told you, you can have the server location when you transfer the funds. Any more stunts and I'll start pulling disks, understand?– DanMay 9, 2012 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

My problem was precisely about approximation... I will ask the provider.– smonffMay 9, 2012 at 14:39
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.– smonffMay 9, 2012 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.
