Either way, its a good idea. If you know your > customers, then I don't see why you couldn't do this. There are quite a few tools for this available, though most are paid-services. There is one hitch though: just because the connection comes from a certain geographic area, doesn't mean the end-client is located at that IP. (For instance, if someone is using a service for anonimity (proxies, ssh/vpn/tunnels, tor, etc)). A sidenote, but I think there are not too much businesses that can use this feature (or afford to). Even if your are aiming for a very specific geographical region, people still travel and may need to contact a website/service from a remote location. Kind Regards, Sander Holthaus |
