What is an IP address?
An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique number,
similar in concept to a telephone number, 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.
An example IP address is 209.143.171.136. Converting to such numbers from the
more human-readable form of domain addresses, such as www.askandrew.cc, is done
via the Domain Name System. The process of conversion is known as resolution of
the domain name.
