Hello freaks…hope you all are fine :)
My today’s topic of the post is” How to get the IP Address of a website/ your own computer? ”
Before I go for the topic, let me first clear you about the term IP Address.
What really is an IP Address???
It is the address of your own computer or the website server computer (i.e. computer where the website is located).
In simple language, as we have our house address and to send any mail (post), that address is required. In the same way, IP Address of computer is required to communicate with any computer.
This IP address is actually a 32 bit decimal number that is written as four numbers b/w 1-255 (8 bits each), each separated from the other by a decimal point.
Example of an IP address can be 117.200.65.10
Whenever you connect your computer to the internet, an IP address is assigned to your computer automatically.
There are two types of IP address assigned to any computer connected to internet.
1. Static IP address: This is the IP address which once assigned to a computer will remain the same for that computer always.
2. Dynamic IP address: This is the IP address which changes dynamically. It changes for a computer each time you connect it to internet.
To check whether your computer have static or dynamic IP address, connect you computer to internet and Note down the IP address, after that disconnect it. Again connect it to internet and Note down the IP address. If both IP address are the same, then your computer have static IP address otherwise it has dynamic IP address.
How to get IP Address of a website?
There are two ways:
First is to get it from command prompt as shown below:
1. Ping www.domainname.com
Go to Start > Run and type cmd
Go to Link 1.
Go to Start > Run and type cmd
Now you have the command prompt window open. Then type ping www.domainname.com
and press Enter.
You will get the IP address of the website.
Second way is to use the online service to get IP address:
Click any of the below link to get IP address of website.Go to Link 1.
NOTE: You can also enter the IP address of a website you got above in your browser (Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome etc) to open that website.
How to get your computer own IP Address?
There are two ways to get it.
First by using command prompt :
You can get the IP address of you computer by running the ipconfig command in the command prompt window as done above.
Second by using the online service as shown below:
You will get the IP address of your computer here.
2. Go to Link 1 : Here you will get details about your computer IP address, IP location Information like Country, City, latitude, longitude, ISP and System Information like OS, browser version, screen resolution etc.
3. Go to Link 2 : The IP address you get here is the IP address of your own computer. If you uses a router/proxy, you will not get the correct IP address. In this case, the IP address you got is the address of your router/proxy.
So, now you know about the IP address concept. This is the basic thing you must know to have complete knowledge of Internet working.
Let me remind you that you have seen the website above showing your all information i.e. your location information, system information.
This is not good thing. I mean who wants that their private information be tracked on the website? I guess no one ;)

For Now…have a good day :)
