and registered office to use UK terminology? Or are Timothy and his
servers just separated? After all, it is possible ot live on one
continenet and have a server on another.
Geolocation via IP address is a guess, and often a bad guess. One of
my servers is in Washington (state) but various geolocation algorithms
place it in Utah or Texas - that's roughly the same error as placing
Rochdale in Greece.
Tim said his whois is correct, so "whois pearsoncomputing.net" on
the command line implies that his server is in Belvidere Illinois,
a mere three hundred miles from geolocation's guess.
