    Best And/Or Most Affordable Way To GeoIP Block A Site?

    I need to block specific American and Canadian cities from accessing some sites - MaxMind is charging 90 bucks a month for their updates - are updates that necessary? I would rather buy the database for a one time fee but if updates are really necessary than i'll have to do it.

    Also - whats the better method of using GeoIP from MaxMind to block access - they have a Web API where your server side script checks with their database on their site - or you can install their databases on your own mysql server. which is better and why?

    thanks
    I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

          thanks - this is GFY and its a thread that actually takes a little knowledge to answer so we might be waiting a VERY long time for anything!

              you can find the db with IPs for free and have some write you a small script

              email me and i'll zip and mail it back to u

                  thanks - but i need to know how important the updates are - so that the sites remain inaccessible as time goes on.

                  i'll email ya - thanks

                      I`ve been using the ip2nation database at www.ip2nation.com,which is free.
                      They also provide some sample scripts.
                      I dont think they have a IP to city database though so I don`t know if that`ll work for you.
                      exgfmovies.com, exgfclips.com, datesx.com, gayboards.com and more!

                          definitely need a city database - don't wanna block an entire state or province. thanks for the link.
