What Is An IP Address?
All computers across the internet are assigned a unique identifier called an IP address. IP addresses are numerical numbers between 0 and 255, separated by periods. For example, an IP Address may look something like: 56.234.22.12.
An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is used by machines (usually computers) to refer to each other when sending information through the Internet. This allows machines passing the information onwards on behalf of the sender to know where to send it next, and for the machine receiving the information to know that it is the intended destination.
