Hello, I need to use the ip geocoder for my application to work, but when I try to use the IpGeocoder.geocode I receive this error

Caught an error during Ip geocoding call: Failed to open TCP connection to api.hostip.info:80 (getaddrinfo: Name or service not known)

I googled hostip.info and the domain is on sale, which means that this web service is certainly down permanently.

Knowing this, I need to change the ip geocoding web service, but I'm not certain which one to use and how to change it on this gem. Any help would be appreciated.
