An IP address, also known as an Internet Protocol address is a number that is assigned to each computer that has access to the internet. The IP address has the ability to determine the location of the user including basic latitude and longitude coordinates as well as specific city names. IP addresses also include host names and potential internet service provider information (including the
. company name and address). Finding one's own IP address for their computers is possible for free by quickly using a traditional search engine. Many websites that include IP address information work automatically and do not require a user registration to locate the user. In addition to viewing the location of a user, IP addresses also show the user's operating system, web browser and official language.
