What is my IP address?
Your IP address is the internet-facing identifier used by websites and services to send data back to you.
IPv4 vs IPv6
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (e.g., 203.0.113.10). IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses (e.g., 2001:db8::1).
Static vs Dynamic
Most home users have dynamic IPs that can change over time; business links may use static IPs.
