ISP name


I'm getting some "New registration" without Internet service provider name located. In my admincp when I click "IP" provider for the new registration all I'm gettting is "Host name couldn't be resolved".
What can you do with this type of member's? Why they hiding there "IP" address or "host name"?
Can I ban, deny, there access to the forum or what? Any thought on this.

Re: ISP name


That usually means they have signed up using a proxy. You cant resolve the host because its a proxy. They have proxy to real ip mod..But it wont always show you.

It happens, if you want to know which ISP and place they are from, just use IP2Location.com - Lookup IP address to Country, State, City, Netblock, Longitude and Latitude
