Detailed explanation-1: -An IP address is a unique address that identifies a device on the internet or a local network. IP stands for “Internet Protocol, ” which is the set of rules governing the format of data sent via the internet or local network.
Detailed explanation-2: -The router makes sure that two computers are not assigned the same IP address. This process of computers asking for an IP address from the router is called “dynamic” IP address assignment. It uses a network protocol called DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol).
Detailed explanation-3: -The IP address is a 32-bit number that uniquely identifies a network interface on a machine. An IP address is typically written in decimal digits, formatted as four 8-bit fields separated by periods. Each 8-bit field represents a byte of the IP address.
Detailed explanation-4: -1 All devices on the network are given a different x value (1-255), the last digit. Here’s an important distinction. There are two types of IPv4 IP addresses, Public and Private. Public IP addresses are the ones you see on the Internet (if you ping google.com you’ll get a public IP address).
Detailed explanation-5: -A Unique IP is an IP address that is specific to your domain. When you add hosting to a domain/subdomain, it’s assigned an IP on the Apache server which is shared with other sites. This shared IP address is most often the only IP you’ll need.
