DOMAIN IP ADDRESS

IP addresses are the centre of the internet. All computers and devices connected to the internet must have a unique IP address on the network that they are on. This helps to send and receive any kind of information from other devices on the network. Any device, computer or printer can be assigned an IP address using DHCP (dynamic host control protocol). This allows an unused IP address to be used dynamically. The IP address of a device can be reassigned to another device when the device leaves the network. If your device has been setup to use a static IP address, then that is the only IP address that will be allowed on your network without any conflicts.If you are on a private network in a home or office, then you are likely to be assigned one of the IP addresses reserved for private networks in the range;



10.0.0.0 thru 10.255.255.255

172.16.0.0 thru 172.31.255.255

192.168.0.0 thru 192.168.255.255




* If an IP address originates from your own private network, then it is likely to be in one of the above ranges.

* If the device is on a local host, then the IP address is 127.0.0.1

* If the domain IP address is not among the above, then you can use the lookup tool to see who owns the IP address of the domain.



One needs to have a DNS (Domain Name Server) search to do an IP address lookup. It does not compromise the security of the computer. The information is also freely attained from the web browser to the web server and the web server sends you the information that you requested.



In order to find a domain name based on an IP address, you need to send a request to that IP address aking that computer for its name. Enter the information you want to lookup to get the domain ip address you were looking for.
