What is My IP Address? - IP Address Lookup

An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. An IP address serves two principal functions: it identifies the host or network interface and provides the location of the host in the network. IP addresses can be either static or dynamic. Static IP addresses are permanently assigned to a device, while dynamic IP addresses are temporarily assigned and can change over time. Dynamic IP addresses are commonly used in residential networks, as they are more cost-effective and easier to manage.
