What is an IP Address
IP Stands for Internet Protocol and the term address refers to the unique number that is given to every device. So, an IP Address is an individualized identification number that specifies the location of the network of a device.
The IP address is used for communication between the devices, routers, and servers. Your IP address is divided into two parts in the ratio 3:1, they are called the Network part and the Host part.
The first part is the network part which specifies the network assigned to your device. And the second part specifies the device connected to the network. Every computer on the same network holds the same network part and unique host part. In this order, the series of numbers circulate around the world under a binary arithmetic system which we say as an IP address.
