| What is an IP address? |
An Ip Address is the identification number of a computer in an TCP/IP network. An Ip Address will be in the form of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx is in numerals between 0 to 255. If it is a private network, this can be assigned in random.
On Internet, each computer has to be assigned atleast 1 IP Address which is registered. Look at this link on IP Address for more info.

Now once a computer is assigned a IP Address on the Internet, it can be accessed by a browser using this IP Address. Usually many websites are hosted on a single computer. You can take a dedicated IP for your website by paying some small amount of money which varies from ISP to ISP. This is called as static IP in hosting language. It is recommended to use static IP for the website as it will somewhat give a unique identification for your website from other websites in the same server. |
