What is an IP Address?

An IP address is a sequence number separated by periods. An IP address is a string of four numbers. An example might be 192.158.1.38. Any number can range from 0 to 255. The IP address range is 0.0.0.0 up to 255.255.255.255.255.255.255.255.

It is possible to assign IP addresses randomly. They are mathematically generated and assigned to them by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. This division is part of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers. ICANN is a non-profit organization that was established in the United States in 1998 to protect and open up the internet to everyone. A domain name registrar is required for every domain registration on the Internet. This registrar is required to pay a small fee to ICANN.
