I have an ASP.NET website written in C#.
On this site I need to automatically show a start page based on the user's location.
Can I get name of user's city based on the IP address of the user ?

Through a useful internet tool called IP Geolocation Lookup, you can track an IP address close to someone's exact location. You can get pretty close, depending on a variety of factors, to finding the physical location of someone's IP address.
Just send HTTP GET request to https://api.ipgeolocationapi.com with different parameters and get the JSON result. For example, the following HTTP GET request will give you a location of the specified IP address. The following request returns the country information specified by the ISO country code.
You need an IP-address-based reverse geocoding API... like the one from ipdata.co. I'm sure there are plenty of options available.
You may want to allow the user to override this, however. For example, they could be on a corporate VPN which makes the IP address look like it's in a different country.
