IP Address
IP address, It’s a binary number that uniquely identifies a host (computer) connected to the Internet to other Internet hosts, for the purposes of communication through the transfer of packets.
Each of the four blocks of numbers can be any value from 0 to 255. They can either be assigned
permanently (‘static IP’) or per session (‘dynamic IP’). Most ISPs assign them dynamically, is when you connect to the internet.
