What are IP addresses?

Every computer connected to the Internet has an IP address (Internet Protocol), which is unique and therefore used to locate and identify individual computers. Some ISPs give you a new and different IP address every time you connect, or every 6 hours. This is called a “dynamic IP address”. Some companies give you one or more, ‘static’ IPs. This means you get the same IP address every time for the duration of the account.
