An IP address is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. It serves as an identifier for a specific device on the network and facilitates the exchange of data between devices. To check the IP address of a website, follow these steps:
- Open the command prompt or terminal on your computer.
- Type “ping” followed by the website’s domain name or IP address (e.g., “ping google.com”).
- Press Enter.
The output will display the website’s IP address along with other information such as packet loss and round-trip time.
