What are Domain Names and IP Addresses?

Every computer that is connected to the Internet has a unique IP Address associated with it. Even if you use AOL, MSN, or a local service provider! When you log on to the Internet, your ISP usually dynamically assigns you an IP address when you go out to surf the web. This number is a four-part number such as 209.207.163.28. (Note that IP addresses don’t reveal the identity of the individual user.) Reviewing your domains report can help you identify who’s visiting your page – including specific companies, and even competitors. If you notice you have a lot of AOL users, you may want to take extra measures to ensure your page looks good from within the AOL browser.
