Much like a physical address or home address is needed to receive mail, a device requires an IP address to send and receive data online. \nFor instance, when you enter a website URL into your browser, your computer uses the IP address to locate that website’s server, connect with it, and retrieve the webpage. \nSimilarly, if you want to manage a\nphysical server in a data center\nor a\nvirtual instance in the cloud\n, you’d be working with its IP address (also known as hostname) to manage it. \nWhat is a private IP address?\nA private IP address is an identifier assigned to a device by a local network router. It’s used exclusively within your local network and is not directly accessible from the Internet. \nTypically, private IP ranges fall into these categories\n10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255\n172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255\n192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255\nIn a business setting with multiple connected devices, such as computers, printers, and smartphones, each device has its own private IP address within the office network. This enables the devices to share data without going through the wider internet.\nWhat does my public IP address do?\nYour public IP address is crucial to your online experience. It enables you to:\nAccess websites and online services\nSend and receive emails\nStream media content\nEngage in online gaming\nUse VoIP services for communication\nThat said, your IP address can also be used to approximate your general location and track your online activities. That’s why many websites show region-specific content, display local prices, and promote area-specific products.","attrs_markdown":"[Skip to content](https:\/\/www.liquidweb.com\/tools\/ip-checker\/#main)\n\nGet high-performance hosting with expert management built in.

Much like a physical address or home address is needed to receive mail, a device requires an IP address to send and receive data online.   \n  \nFor instance, when you enter a website URL into your browser, your computer uses the IP address to locate that website’s server, connect with it, and retrieve the webpage.   \n  \nSimilarly, if you want to manage a [physical server in a data center](https:\/\/www.liquidweb.com\/dedicated-server-hosting\/bare-metal\/) or a [virtual instance in the cloud](https:\/\/www.liquidweb.com\/vps-hosting\/), you’d be working with its IP address (also known as hostname) to manage it.\n\n## What is a public IP address?\nA public IP address is your identifier to the outside world when you’re online — it’s what websites and online services see when you interact with them. It’s assigned by your internet service provider (ISP) or hosting provider.   \n  \nTo put it in perspective, if the internet were a large office building, your public IP address would be like your office number. It tells other “offices” (websites and services) where to send the information you’ve requested, ensuring that data reaches your device correctly.\n\n## What is a private IP address?\nA private IP address is an identifier assigned to a device by a local network router. It’s used exclusively within your local network and is not directly accessible from the Internet.\n\nTypically, private IP ranges fall into these categories\n\n- 10\\.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255\n- 172\\.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255\n- 192\\.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255\n\nIn a business setting with multiple connected devices, such as computers, printers, and smartphones, each device has its own private IP address within the office network. This enables the devices to share data without going through the wider internet.\n\n## What does my public IP address do?\nYour public IP address is crucial to your online experience. It enables you to:\n\n- Access websites and online services\n- Send and receive emails\n- Stream media content\n- Engage in online gaming\n- Use VoIP services for communication\n\nThat said, your IP address can also be used to approximate your general location and track your online activities. That’s why many websites show region-specific content, display local prices, and promote area-specific products.\n\n[Get your public IP](https:\/\/www.liquidweb.com\/tools\/ip-checker\/#check-ip-address)\n\n## Public vs private IP address\n### *Public* IP address\nAssigned by your ISP or hosting provider\n\nVisible on the internet\n\nGlobally unique\n\nUsed for communication across the internet\n\nCan provide a geographic location\n\n### *Private* IP address\nAssigned by your local router\n\nVisible only on your local network\n\nCan be duplicated across different networks\n\nUsed for communication in a local network\n\nDoesn’t provide location information\n\n## IPv4 vs IPv6\n![Two computer screens with their IP addresses beneath show the difference between IPv4 and IPv6: IPv4 address is 123.45.67.89, IPv6 address is 2001:db8::ff00:42:8329](https:\/\/www.liquidweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/liquid-web-what_is_the_difference_between_ipv4_and_ipv6-edited.webp)\n\n[Explore IPv6 VPS](https:\/\/www.liquidweb.com\/vps-hosting\/ipv6\/)\n\nIPv4 and IPv6 represent different IP addressing systems.\n\n**IPv4** is the old version launched in 1981. It uses 32-bit addresses, which creates a finite limit of unique addresses. There can only be about 4.3 billion combinations. Periods are used to separate groups of digits.\n\n**IPv6** is a new version launched in 1998. It was developed to address the shortage of IPv4 addresses. It uses 128-bit addresses with 340 undecillion combinations. Colons are used to separate groups of hexadecimal digits.\n\nThe transition to IPv6 has been gradual. 70-80% of all internet traffic still relies on IPv4. But IPv6 usage continues to increase as the internet expands.\n\n## How are IP\n## addresses *assigned*?\n\nIP addresses are allocated using a system called [dynamic host configuration protocol](https:\/\/www.fortinet.com\/resources\/cyberglossary\/dynamic-host-configuration-protocol-dhcp) (DHCP). You can consider it somewhat similar to checking into a hotel. DHCP (the hotel) assigns you a room number (IP address) during your stay. If you disconnect and reconnect later, you might be assigned a different room number or IP address.\n\n### Discovery\nA device on a network broadcasts a request, looking for a DHCP server. This is a server with the sole purpose of assigning IP addresses.\n\n### Offer\nThe DHCP server responds with an available IP address and other network configuration details.\n\n### Request\nThe device accepts the assigned IP address and a request is sent back to the DHCP server\n\n### Acknowledgment\nThe DHCP server confirms the lease of the IP address, finalizing the configuration.\n\n## How do I *change* my IP address?\nIf you want to change your IP address, there are several methods to do so.\n\nNote: If you’re using your IP address for business purposes, you will need to [update the DNS records](https:\/\/www.liquidweb.com\/help-docs\/adding-and-editing-dns-records\/) to ensure that users can access your services on the new address.\n\n### Restart your router\nRestarting your router basically disconnects and reconnects you to your ISP, so your ISP might assign you a new IP address based on DHCP.\n\n### Use a virtual private network (VPN)\nA VPN service lets you mask your IP address and substitute it with one from its servers to enhance your online privacy.\n\n### Connect to a different network\nSwitching your network from office Wi-Fi to mobile or using a different Wi-Fi network will also change your IP address.\n\n### Request a change\nIf you’re paying for a static IP address, you can request a change from the ISP or the hosting provider.\n\n## Can someone *track* me using my IP address?\n![A map of the world shows 5 IP addresses for 5 individuals in different regions, using their general IP address location as a clue](https:\/\/www.liquidweb.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/liquid-web-whats-my-ip-address-can-somone-track-me-edited-1.webp)\n\nWhile your IP address can reveal some information about you, it’s not as revealing as some might fear.\n\nBy using an IP address lookup tool, someone might be able to determine your general location (usually just the city, like Ashburn, Virginia) and your ISP.\n\nHowever, they can’t pinpoint your exact physical location or access your personal details.\n\n[Get your IP address](https:\/\/www.liquidweb.com\/tools\/ip-checker\/#check-ip-address)\n\n## IP checker FAQ\n### How do I find my IP address?\nTo find your IP address using an IP checker tool, follow these simple steps:\n\n- **[Open the IP checker tool](https:\/\/www.liquidweb.com\/tools\/ip-checker\/#check-ip-address)**: Go to the web tool that displays IP information.\n- **Check the displayed information**: Our IP checker automatically detects and displays your IP address on the screen.\n- **Read your IP address**: Your IP address will appear and can be used however you like.\n\n### Why would I need to check an IP address?\n[Knowing your IP address](https:\/\/www.liquidweb.com\/blog\/whats-my-ip-address\/) is very useful for a number of reasons. It can help with server configuration, domain resolution, access monitoring, compliance requirements, and even optimizing performance.\n\n### Is finding your IP address free?\nYes! No clicks required. Your IP address is [automatically generated](https:\/\/www.liquidweb.com\/tools\/ip-checker\/#check-ip-address).\n\n### How can I hide my IP address?\nHere a few ways to hide your IP address:\n\n- **Use a VPN (virtual private network)**: A VPN masks your IP by routing your internet traffic through a different server, giving you a new IP address.\n- **Use a proxy server**: Proxies act as intermediaries between your device and the internet, hiding your IP behind the proxy’s IP.\n- **Connect to public Wi-Fi**: Temporarily hides your home IP by assigning you an IP address associated with the public network.\n- **Use the Tor Browser**: Tor routes your traffic through multiple servers in its network, concealing your IP and increasing privacy.\n\n## Get a *dedicated IP* with our most

An internet protocol (IP) address is a device’s digital identifier on the internet. It’s a unique string of numbers assigned to a computer, phone, or any other internet-connected device. Much like a physical address or home address is needed to receive mail, a device requires an IP address to send and receive data online. For instance, when you enter a website URL into your browser, your computer uses the IP address to locate that website’s server, connect with it, and retrieve the webpage. Similarly, if you want to manage a physical server in a data center or a virtual instance in the cloud , you’d be working with its IP address (also known as hostname) to manage it. What is a private IP address? A private IP address is an identifier assigned to a device by a local network router. It’s used exclusively within your local network and is not directly accessible from the Internet. Typically, private IP ranges fall into these categories 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 In a business setting with multiple connected devices, such as computers, printers, and smartphones, each device has its own private IP address within the office network. This enables the devices to share data without going through the wider internet. What does my public IP address do? Your public IP address is crucial to your online experience. It enables you to: Access websites and online services Send and receive emails Stream media content Engage in online gaming Use VoIP services for communication That said, your IP address can also be used to approximate your general location and track your online activities. That’s why many websites show region-specific content, display local prices, and promote area-specific products.

Loading… *Quick guide* ## What is an *IP address*? ![The unique IP address of a device is shown for a desktop computer, mobile phone, smartwatch, and laptop computer, each device surrounds an internet modem](https://www.liquidweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/liquid-web-what-is-a-public-IP-address-edited.webp) **An internet protocol (IP) address is a device’s digital identifier on the internet.** It’s a unique string of numbers assigned to a computer, phone, or any other internet-connected device. Much like a physical address or home address is needed to receive mail, a device requires an IP address to send and receive data online. For instance, when you enter a website URL into your browser, your computer uses the IP address to locate that website’s server, connect with it, and retrieve the webpage. Similarly, if you want to manage a [physical server in a data center](https://www.liquidweb.com/dedicated-server-hosting/bare-metal/) or a [virtual instance in the cloud](https://www.liquidweb.com/vps-hosting/), you’d be working with its IP address (also known as hostname) to manage it. ## What is a public IP address? A public IP address is your identifier to the outside world when you’re online — it’s what websites and online services see when you interact with them. It’s assigned by your internet service provider (ISP) or hosting provider. To put it in perspective, if the internet were a large office building, your public IP address would be like your office number. It tells other “offices” (websites and services) where to send the information you’ve requested, ensuring that data reaches your device correctly. ## What is a private IP address? A private IP address is an identifier assigned to a device by a local network router. It’s used exclusively within your local network and is not directly accessible from the Internet. Typically, private IP ranges fall into these categories - 10\.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 - 172\.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 - 192\.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 In a business setting with multiple connected devices, such as computers, printers, and smartphones, each device has its own private IP address within the office network. This enables the devices to share data without going through the wider internet. ## What does my public IP address do? Your public IP address is crucial to your online experience. It enables you to: - Access websites and online services - Send and receive emails - Stream media content - Engage in online gaming - Use VoIP services for communication That said, your IP address can also be used to approximate your general location and track your online activities. That’s why many websites show region-specific content, display local prices, and promote area-specific products. [Get your public IP](https://www.liquidweb.com/tools/ip-checker/#check-ip-address) ## Public vs private IP address ### *Public* IP address Assigned by your ISP or hosting provider Visible on the internet Globally unique Used for communication across the internet Can provide a geographic location ### *Private* IP address Assigned by your local router Visible only on your local network Can be duplicated across different networks Used for communication in a local network Doesn’t provide location information ## IPv4 vs IPv6 ![Two computer screens with their IP addresses beneath show the difference between IPv4 and IPv6: IPv4 address is 123.45.67.89, IPv6 address is 2001:db8::ff00:42:8329](https://www.liquidweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/liquid-web-what_is_the_difference_between_ipv4_and_ipv6-edited.webp) [Explore IPv6 VPS](https://www.liquidweb.com/vps-hosting/ipv6/) IPv4 and IPv6 represent different IP addressing systems. **IPv4** is the old version launched in 1981. It uses 32-bit addresses, which creates a finite limit of unique addresses. There can only be about 4.3 billion combinations. Periods are used to separate groups of digits. **IPv6** is a new version launched in 1998. It was developed to address the shortage of IPv4 addresses. It uses 128-bit addresses with 340 undecillion combinations. Colons are used to separate groups of hexadecimal digits. The transition to IPv6 has been gradual. 70-80% of all internet traffic still relies on IPv4. But IPv6 usage continues to increase as the internet expands. ## How are IP ## addresses *assigned*? IP addresses are allocated using a system called [dynamic host configuration protocol](https://www.fortinet.com/resources/cyberglossary/dynamic-host-configuration-protocol-dhcp) (DHCP). You can consider it somewhat similar to checking into a hotel. DHCP (the hotel) assigns you a room number (IP address) during your stay. If you disconnect and reconnect later, you might be assigned a different room number or IP address. ### Discovery A device on a network broadcasts a request, looking for a DHCP server. This is a server with the sole purpose of assigning IP addresses. ### Offer The DHCP server responds with an available IP address and other network configuration details. ### Request The device accepts the assigned IP address and a request is sent back to the DHCP server ### Acknowledgment The DHCP server confirms the lease of the IP address, finalizing the configuration. ## How do I *change* my IP address? If you want to change your IP address, there are several methods to do so. Note: If you’re using your IP address for business purposes, you will need to [update the DNS records](https://www.liquidweb.com/help-docs/adding-and-editing-dns-records/) to ensure that users can access your services on the new address. ### Restart your router Restarting your router basically disconnects and reconnects you to your ISP, so your ISP might assign you a new IP address based on DHCP. ### Use a virtual private network (VPN) A VPN service lets you mask your IP address and substitute it with one from its servers to enhance your online privacy. ### Connect to a different network Switching your network from office Wi-Fi to mobile or using a different Wi-Fi network will also change your IP address. ### Request a change If you’re paying for a static IP address, you can request a change from the ISP or the hosting provider. ## Can someone *track* me using my IP address? ![A map of the world shows 5 IP addresses for 5 individuals in different regions, using their general IP address location as a clue](https://www.liquidweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/liquid-web-whats-my-ip-address-can-somone-track-me-edited-1.webp) While your IP address can reveal some information about you, it’s not as revealing as some might fear. By using an IP address lookup tool, someone might be able to determine your general location (usually just the city, like Ashburn, Virginia) and your ISP. However, they can’t pinpoint your exact physical location or access your personal details. [Get your IP address](https://www.liquidweb.com/tools/ip-checker/#check-ip-address) ## IP checker FAQ ### How do I find my IP address? To find your IP address using an IP checker tool, follow these simple steps: - **[Open the IP checker tool](https://www.liquidweb.com/tools/ip-checker/#check-ip-address)**: Go to the web tool that displays IP information. - **Check the displayed information**: Our IP checker automatically detects and displays your IP address on the screen. - **Read your IP address**: Your IP address will appear and can be used however you like. ### Why would I need to check an IP address?

It can help with server configuration, domain resolution, access monitoring, compliance requirements, and even optimizing performance. ### Is finding your IP address free? Yes! No clicks required.

Here a few ways to hide your IP address: - **Use a VPN (virtual private network)**: A VPN masks your IP by routing your internet traffic through a different server, giving you a new IP address. - **Use a proxy server**: Proxies act as intermediaries between your device and the internet, hiding your IP behind the proxy’s IP. - **Connect to public Wi-Fi**: Temporarily hides your home IP by assigning you an IP address associated with the public network. - **Use the Tor Browser**: Tor routes your traffic through multiple servers in its network, concealing your IP and increasing privacy. ## Get a *dedicated IP* with our most popular solutions ### Fast VPS hosting ## Proven to be 200% faster than other hosts.

**An internet protocol (IP) address is a device’s digital identifier on the internet.** It’s a unique string of numbers assigned to a computer, phone, or any other internet-connected device. Much like a physical address or home address is needed to receive mail, a device requires an IP address to send and receive data online. For instance, when you enter a website URL into your browser, your computer uses the IP address to locate that website’s server, connect with it, and retrieve the webpage. Similarly, if you want to manage a [physical server in a data center](https://www.liquidweb.com/dedicated-server-hosting/bare-metal/) or a [virtual instance in the cloud](https://www.liquidweb.com/vps-hosting/), you’d be working with its IP address (also known as hostname) to manage it. ## What is a private IP address? A private IP address is an identifier assigned to a device by a local network router. It’s used exclusively within your local network and is not directly accessible from the Internet. Typically, private IP ranges fall into these categories - 10\.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 - 172\.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 - 192\.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 In a business setting with multiple connected devices, such as computers, printers, and smartphones, each device has its own private IP address within the office network. This enables the devices to share data without going through the wider internet. ## What does my public IP address do? Your public IP address is crucial to your online experience. It enables you to: - Access websites and online services - Send and receive emails - Stream media content - Engage in online gaming - Use VoIP services for communication That said, your IP address can also be used to approximate your general location and track your online activities. That’s why many websites show region-specific content, display local prices, and promote area-specific products.
