How Can Find the IP Address of a Web Site ?
Each Web site on the Internet possesses at least one Internet Protocol (IP) address. Knowing a Web site IP address can be useful to determine its physical location, but this address is not automatically shown in Web browsers. How can you find the IP address of a Web site? To Know a Web Site IP address follow these steps :
First, you can use the ping utility to look up Web site IP addresses. Ping attempts to contact the Web site by name and will report back the IP address it finds. For example, to find the IP address of Microsoft.com entering the command
- Click the Start menu and Click 'Run...' or Press Windows Logo Key + R
- Type 'cmd' in the text box that appears. A command prompt window launches on the desktop.
- ping Microsoft.com
will return a result similar to the following that contains the IP address:
Pinging grameenphone.com [207.46.232.182] with 32 bytes of data: . . .
Note that many larger Web sites do not return replies to ping commands, but the site IP address can usually still be obtained. The ping method will fail if the Web site is temporarily "down" of if the computer used to perform the ping is not connected to the Internet.
