What is an IP address?

This guide explains what an IP address is and what it is used for.

An IP address is short for Internet Protocol address and is a string of numbers, for example, 193.0.4.1, that are connected to a computed network that uses the IP address to communicate. There are two main purposes of an IP address, which are network interface identification and location addressing.
