With the advent of the Internet, there were a lot of not quite familiar designations and abbreviations, it also includes an IP address. What is it for and for what it serves in more detail in this article.
What is the IP address?
When connecting to the global network, each computer is assigned a number containing only numbers and points. This number is called the IP address. For example: 190. 133. 122.122. For each computer is a unique number as a person's passport or home address. IP (IP) - translated as the Internet protocol.
- The address is mandatory, since thanks to him computers can communicate with each other. The IP address is used not only for the global network, but also for local.
- There are still two types of "IP-addresses": static and dynamic.
- Static is when the Internet service provider (provider) enshrines a personal IP address by one computer, thanks to which you can contact your personal computer from anywhere in the world. Dynamic - temporary address, after the end of providing service provider can replace it or give it to another client.
- In addition to the IP address, there are still: network mask, DNS - address is all the necessary parameters for Internet access.

What is the IP address?
Technologies do not stand still and more newly improved versions of "IP addresses" appear. Consider the most popular:
IPv4 protocol is a well-known popular protocol. Example: 87.99.122.133.
IPv6 is a new generation protocol that can contain letters, colon and consist practically of their alone and the same numbers. Example: 10,000: 0F99: AD10: 0000: 0000: 0000

- In general, the IP address plays a big role for improved and reliable operation in the local and global network.

How are IP addresses created?
Each Internet service provider has its own range of IP addresses. It can change them and perform other operations. That is, access to creating an IP address is available only by the provider. But the user has the opportunity to make a temporary address (dynamic) - constant, on its personal computer, using some programs.
Programs for working with IP address:
- Hide ME IP - allows you to change the current IP address.
- IP Changer - designed to change the IP address.
- NO IP is a program that allows you to change the dynamic address to a permanent domain name.
- Real Hade IP - allows you to replace your IP address.
- IP HIDER is a program that allows you to change and submit your IP address.

It is not difficult to find out your IP address. There is a lot of options to find out:
- On the computer, through the control panel.
- Using the Yandex search engine. Just enter into the search string: My IP address.
- Through the command line and commands: ipconfig.
- Using the site. For example, 2IP.ru.
- Also, the IP address can be found from the provider.

In conclusion, I would like to say that the IP address is the necessary protocol for proper operation of the Internet, it not only allows you to exchange information between computers, but also reliably protects from hacker attacks.
