## What will be covered in this Blog

```python
1. What is IP address?
2. Find IP Address of any Website
```

*Let's get started!*

## What is IP address?:

The Dictionary Defination:

> **IP address** stands for Internet Protocol address, is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a [computer network](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_network) that uses the [Internet Protocol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Protocol) for communication. 

IP (Internet Protocol) Address is an address of your network hardware. An IP Address is made up of numbers or characters. All devices that are connected to an internet connection have a unique IP address

There are are two IP versions: 

- IPv4
- IPv6.

There are a few other types of IP addresses as well like private IP addresses, public IP addresses, static IP addresses and dynamic IP addresses. 

If you wish to know more about it, you can refer to [**IP address** Wikipedia Page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address). 

Now that you are familiar with *IP address basics*, we can move forward to *the coding section.* 

## Time to Code!

You can find all the code at my [GitHub Repository](https://github.com/ayushi7rawat/Youtube-Projects/tree/master/Find%20IP%20Address). **Drop a star** if you find it useful.

In order to access the Python library, we need to import the package in our Python script. 

```python
import socket as s
```

We will make use of `socket` module to get the IP Address of any Website. Now that we have imported it in our python script, let's start by fetching our hostname.

```python
my_hostname = s.gethostname()
```

We will make use of `gethostname` method from socket and store it in `my_hostname`. Let's display our hostname by using `print` method.

```python
print('Your Hostname is: ' + my_hostname)

#OUTPUT:
--> Your Hostname is: AyushiRawat
```

Its time to fetch the IP Address. We will make use of `gethostbyname` method for the same and pass in our hostname, `my_hostname`. Let's store it in `my_ip`

````python
my_ip = s.gethostbyname(my_hostname)
````

Once done, let's display the IP Address.

```python
print('Your Ip Address is: ' + my_ip)

#OUTPUT:
--> Your Ip Address is: 192.168.1.3
```

Now, let's fetch the IP Address of [**my blogging webiste**](https://ayushirawat.com/), `https://ayushirawat.com/`. We will store the hostname in `host`.

```python
host = 'ayushirawat.com'
```

Let's fetch the IP Address using the `gethostbyname` method and pass in `host`. 

```python
ip = s.gethostbyname(host)
```

Finally, let's display the IP Address of [**my blogging webiste**](https://ayushirawat.com/)!

```python
print('The IP Address of ' + host + ' is: '  + ip)

#OUTPUT:
--> The IP Address of ayushirawat.com is: 192.241.200.144
```


With these steps, you can successfully get the IP Address of any website using python. That's it!
