Every computer that is connected to the Internet has an IP address (a 4-byte number, typically represented in dotted notation like 192.25.206.10). Internet IP addresses are given out by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). Normally, computers on the Internet are not accessed by their IP address, but by their domain name.
