An online web store to direct customers to a geographically appropriate e-commerce store front is described. The web store redirects customers based upon the customer's internet protocol (IP) address. For example, company "X" has two sites. One of the sites is for the Asian Pacific (APAC) region while another handles the European, Middle East, and African (EMEA) area. Within the APAC region, company "X" has a specific locale set up for the Australian continent. Company "X" would need a way to host one link on its site that would direct the user to the correct site and locale. A preferred embodiment utilizes an action handler for a link that when clicked would determine the users locale based on their IP address and redirect the user to the appropriate site and locale.
