What's My IP address? Your IP address is a unique identifier of your place within the internet. It tells other online devices where to find you.

IP stands for "Internet Protocol" so your IP address is your internet protocol address. It is a number that identifies your computer from other routers, computers, servers etc. that are on the internet.

If you have a "static" IP address then that address is unique to your device and never changes. If it is a "dynamic" IP address, that means it is assigned "dynamically" by some gateway device further up the chain and it may change from time to time.

Depending what type of system you are part of, dynamic addresses can change seldom or often. If, for example, you are using a dial-up internet connection, the address server of your isp (internet service provider) might assign you a new IP address every time you log on to their service.

There is a finite (limited) pool of IP addresses available and there is no point in using up addresses when specific devices are not actually online, so dynamic IP addresses are often used. The IP address server of your provider has a limited number of IP addresses it can assign, so when you log on to their service, the IP address server takes one of the available IP addresses from the pool and assigns it to the computer that has just logged on.
