What Is an IP Address?
An IP address is a numerical label assigned to devices connected to a network. It allows data to be routed correctly between computers, servers, smartphones, and other internet-connected devices.
There are two main versions of IP addresses:
IPv4 Address
IPv4 uses a 32-bit format and appears as four numbers separated by dots.
Example:
192.168.1.1IPv6 Address
IPv6 uses a 128-bit format and provides significantly more available addresses.
Example:
2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334
Public IP vs Private IP Address
Public IP Address
A public IP address is assigned by your internet service provider and is visible on the internet. Websites and online services use this address to identify your connection.
Private IP Address
A private IP address is assigned within your local network and is used for communication between devices such as computers, printers, routers, and servers.
Common private IP ranges include:
- 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255
- 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
