- Who assigns my IP address to me?
- Your unique, public IP address () is assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
- What is my public IP address?
- A public (i.e., external) IP address is assigned to a computer, router or device either temporarily or permanently. Your IP address allows you to communicate with millions of web sites throughout the Internet. It also allows your ISP and other web sites to track your online behavior. It's similar to having a telephone number by allowing your friends to have a way to communicate with you.
- What is my private IP address?
- Computers within a private or home network are each assigned a unique address in order to exchange files and share resources with one another. The network router, which routes information, will pass data back and forth among the connected computers, using the respective addresses. Often times, multiple computers within a home network are able to share the same external IP address.
- Will my IP address change?
- Most likely yes. Depending upon your ISP, your IP address can change while you're surfing the web, when you've logged off from the Internet, or a set time in the future (e.g., up to a year).
- What is my static IP address?
- A static IP address is a permanent IP address that you typically have to pay an additional fee for. A static IP address is useful when you want to host you're own web site or to gain access to your computer while you're away.
- What is my dynamic IP Address?
- It's a temporary IP address that will change often behind the scenes without affecting your internet experience.
