Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about IP lookup, our tools, and how we handle your data. For more help, see our Guides or Contact page.
What is an IP address?
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique number assigned to your device when it connects to the internet. It allows other devices and servers to send data to you. IPv4 addresses look like 192.168.1.1; IPv6 addresses are longer and look like 2001:0db8:85a3::8a2e:0370:7334.
How do I find my IP address?
Use our What Is My IP or IP Lookup tool on the homepage. When you visit the page, we show your current public IPv4 and IPv6 address, plus location and ISP information. No signup or download required.
Is the IP lookup free?
Yes. All our tools—IP lookup, DNS lookup, WHOIS, VPN check, port checker, ping, traceroute, and calculators—are free to use. You do not need to create an account or sign up.
Do you store or sell my IP address?
We use your IP to show you results (e.g. “What is my IP”) and for basic security and analytics. We do not sell your data. Details are in our Privacy Policy. You can choose to accept only necessary cookies if you prefer.
What is the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (e.g. 8.8.8.8) and has a limited number of addresses. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses and provides many more. Both can identify your device; many networks support both. Our tools show and work with both.
Can I look up any IP or domain?
Yes. Enter any public IPv4, IPv6, or domain name (e.g. google.com) in our IP Lookup or related tools. We return geolocation, ISP, and other public data when available.
What is DNS lookup used for?
DNS lookup shows how a domain name is resolved to IP addresses and which mail or other records are configured. It helps with debugging email, websites, and connectivity issues.
What is WHOIS lookup?
WHOIS shows registration and contact information for a domain (registrar, creation/expiry dates, nameservers). It is useful for verifying domain ownership and troubleshooting DNS.
How do I contact support?
Use our Contact page to send a message. For general questions, check this FAQ and our Guides. We do not provide phone support; we respond to contact form submissions as we can.
Are your tools accurate?
We use reputable data sources for geolocation and DNS/WHOIS. Accuracy depends on how ISPs and registries report data. For critical decisions, consider cross-checking with other sources.
