An IP address, standing for Internet Protocol, is the actual location on the internet. It consists of 4 numbers, separated by periods. Every computer on the planet connected on the internet has a unique IP address.
Because of that, every website has an IP address that it is assigned to, based on the server where the website is hosted (see the second question for a refresher of these terms). Some websites share an IP address, but usually only if they are owned by the same person.
An IP Address looks something like this: 209.47.137.167. Each of those numbers is called a “node”, and helps millions of computers find your website in a flash.
An easier way to think of an IP address is as the complete address of where you live, which typically consists of a street number, street, city, postal code, state/province, and country. Or, you can also think of it like the phone number of your website.
Of course, we aren’t very good at memorizing sequences of numbers, especially four 2-3 digit numbers (which is why our cell phones list our contacts by name instead of by number).
So the wise people behind the World Wide Web developed a way to name internet websites in an easier way. The computers of the world talk in the numbers, but we humans can use the words instead to connect to the right sites.
