IP Address
In one sentenceThe numeric address of a device or server on the internet, like 203.0.113.10. DNS turns domain names into IP addresses.
What it means
Every server and internet connection has an IP address. IPv4 addresses look like 203.0.113.10; newer IPv6 addresses are longer, like 2001:db8::1. Your website's domain points to its server's IP through an A Record.
How to use it
- When you rent a VPS / Server, the provider gives you its IP. That is what goes into your A record.
- Security tools block suspicious IPs, which is why too many rapid logins from your own IP can get you temporarily locked out.
