IP Address
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a chain of numbers unique to a device on a network (eg. the Internet). This chain of numbers is converted into a domain name for ease of use. They are used as the first identifier for every device on the Internet. Static IP addresses are fixed to one device or website until it is chosen to be removed, whereas dynamic IP addresses can be changed regularly to for easy allocation to one of a number of computers.
