Know IP address of any site

We know that any web site's name eg. google.com is just a human readable name. Actual address is its corresponding IP address.

Using ping to know IP address


1. Press Win + R to open Run dialog.
2. Type 'cmd' or 'command' (without quotes of course)
3. Press Enter (or Return key)

This will open a command prompt like shown in the picture
Suppose we wish to know IP address of Google.com

Type:
ping google.com

Press Enter.

This will print something like in the image


The required lines are shown as
Reply from IP bytes=32 time=NNNms TTL=NNN

Where IP is Google's IP address that serves your location.

Using the above method, you can get IP address of any site by replacing 'google.com' to some other site.
