The Internet protocol defines a set of principles on how data is transferred over the Internet, and IP addresses are an integral part of this. No computer is connected to the Internet without having an IP address assigned to it as it serves as a means of network interface identification without which communication is not possible.<\/p>\n

IP addresses are assigned by Internet Service Providers (ISPs)<\/a>. One thing you need to know is that IP addresses are unique to every computer connected to the Internet and, as such, make each device unique. Some Internet users do not even know what an IP address is and what it is meant for. If you are one of those Internet users, then I will advise you to read our IP address 101 article<\/a> first before proceeding.<\/p>\n
