Guide

What is an IP address?

An IP address is the number every device and server on the internet has. The devices at your home or office usually share one public IP address given by your ISP; that's the address you see when you open this page.

IP addresses are handed out in blocks to ISPs and hosting companies by regional registries such as RIPE NCC, ARIN and APNIC. Our tool finds the block an address belongs to from those registries' RDAP services, and the autonomous system (ASN) announcing it from routing data.

You can also enter a domain name; the tool resolves it and looks up its IP. Local network addresses (like 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x) and reserved ranges aren't looked up.

How to Read the Results

Reverse DNS (PTR): The name an IP address maps back to. A correct PTR record matters for mail servers so their messages aren't flagged as spam.
Network name and organization: The name and organization the address block is registered to.
Address range: The first and last address of the block the IP belongs to.
ASN: The number and name of the network announcing the block, usually the ISP or data center.
Country: Where the block is registered. It isn't the device's physical location.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my IP address keep changing?

Most home and mobile connections use dynamic IPs; a new address is assigned when the modem restarts or at set intervals. If you need a static IP, ask your ISP.

Can someone find my home address from my IP?

No. Public records only show which ISP or organization the address belongs to and the country it's registered in. Subscriber details can only be requested from the ISP through legal channels.

What's the difference between IPv4 and IPv6?

IPv4 addresses have four parts, like 185.33.129.25, and are in short supply. IPv6 addresses such as 2a00:1450:: are much longer and practically unlimited. If your connection supports it, you'll see your IPv6 address.

How do I change a PTR record?

The PTR record is set by whoever owns the IP address. For ADVEYER servers, just open a support ticket.

How can I tell which network my server is on?

Enter its IP address or your domain; the ASN and network name show which data center or provider hosts it.

Need a server with its own IP?

Every ADVEYER VPS and cloud server comes with a dedicated IP address.
