What is an IP address?
When you first open and account with Web Your Business, Inc OR AAABusinessHosting.com you will be given your own IP address. To view your website before the domain name server (DNS) is updated, typing your assigned IP address in your address bar will take you directly to your website. This is because the ultimate destination of any internet request is an IP address, but remembering an address like 12.178.176.233 for most people is difficult so they use an address like www.WebYourBusiness.com. The DNS will then act as a translator to the server and translate that into the desired IP Address. You can visit any site by typing in either but you will finder quicker results by typing in the actual IP address because they don’t have to go through the DNS. But the DNS has the advantage since you can change the IP address and not affect millions of users. Related Topics:
