IP (Internet Protocol) Address is an address of your network hardware. It helps in connecting your computer to other devices on your network and all over the world. An IP Address is made up of numbers or characters.

An example of an IP address would be: 506.457.14.512

All devices that are connected to an internet connection have a unique IP address which means there’s a need of billions of IP addresses. This requirement is fulfilled by the new IP version IPv6. There are a few types of IP addresses like private IP addresses, public IP addresses, static IP addresses and dynamic IP addresses. (wpbeginner| What is: IP Address)
