Find the IP address of your internet network

Definitions

The IP address of your internet network is a unique number that identifies your connection to the internet.

Currently, there are two types of IP addresses: IPv4 and IPv6.

• IPv4 uses a 32-bit address format to identify devices on a network.
• IPv6 uses a 128-bit address format, offering a much larger number of unique addresses.

All internet networks have IPv4, but not all have IPv6 because it’s newer. Generally, you will focus more on your IPv4 address.

Before you start

✅ Your IP address acts like a home address for your internet connection.

ℹ️ Every device on your network shares the same IP address when accessing the internet.

❌ Your internet network’s IP address is different from your hosting service’s IP address. If you need your hosting service IP address, go here instead: Find the IP address of your hosting account
