Check Website IP

What is the Check Website IP Tool?

The Check Website IP tool is a utility that allows you to find the IP address associated with any website or domain name. It performs a DNS (Domain Name System) lookup to resolve the domain name to its corresponding IP address, which is the numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network.

How Does It Work?

When you enter a domain name, the tool performs the following steps:

1. It sanitizes the input to extract just the domain name (removing any protocols, paths, or query parameters)
2. It performs a DNS lookup using the server's built-in functions to resolve the domain name to an IP address
3. It displays the resulting IP address along with additional information about the domain

When to Use This Tool

• Network Diagnostics: Troubleshoot connectivity issues by verifying the IP address of a website
• Security Analysis: Identify the server IP behind a suspicious website
• Server Configuration: Verify DNS propagation after changing hosting providers
• Web Development: Test domain configurations and DNS settings
• Educational Purposes: Learn about how domain names map to IP addresses

Understanding IP Addresses

An IP address is a unique identifier assigned to each device connected to a network. There are two main versions:

• IPv4: The most common format, consisting of four numbers separated by dots (e.g., 192.168.1.1)
• IPv6: The newer format, using hexadecimal digits separated by colons (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334)

Websites often use shared hosting, meaning multiple websites may share the same IP address. Conversely, large websites may use multiple IP addresses for load balancing and redundancy.

Privacy and Security

This tool performs the DNS lookup on the server side, but does not store any information about the domains you look up. Your queries are processed in real-time and are not logged or saved.
