Internet articles 444 [11076]What You Need To Know About Ip Addresses If you are new to the internet, often times things can seem quite overwhelming. People throw around terms like IP Addresses, Nameservers, hosting, ftp, etc. In this article we are going to cover IP Addresses. Youll learn exactly what they are and how they apply to search engine optimization (SEO).

This is necessary for it to send and receive information. When you type in a website name, for example mine, that name is translated into an IP address that is then used to find my site.
