Frequently Asked Questions

What is an IP address?

An IP address, or Internet Protocol address, is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network using the Internet Protocol for communication. IP addresses serve two primary functions: host or network interface identification and location addressing. They allow devices to send and receive data on the internet by providing a unique identifier for each device. IP addresses come in two main formats: IPv4, which consists of four sets of numbers, and IPv6, a more recent version designed to accommodate the growing number of devices connected to the internet.
