IP Address
|
|
This is the equivalent of the telephone number of your favorite Internet destination. Fortunately, most sites and servers also have a domain name, which is usually easier to remember. For example, when you type http://guide.west.net you are using HyperText Transfer Protocol to "dial" the IP address (205.254.224.6) of guide.west.net by typing in it's domain name. Every IP address is unique -- just like snowflakes.
