IP Address

A unique numerical identifier assigned to a server or website on the web, allowing devices to locate and communicate with hosting systems worldwide.

An IP address is your website's unique digital identifier, like its street number on the internet. Every device connected to the web has one, allowing computers and servers to find and communicate with each other. When you type a domain name, the DNS system translates it into an IP address so your browser knows exactly where to go. There are two main versions: IPv4 and the newer IPv6, which supports far more connections. IP addresses are essential to how the web operates, quietly directing online traffic with precision every second of every day.
