Ip Address
(Redirected from Ip addresses)
IP addresses are the way that servers know how to get from one hop to the next. Routers use the addresses to send packets on their way.
Most people don't memorize IP's, but instead use domain names, via DNS to make an easy to remember name resolve to an IP.
You can put as many websites as you want on one IP, however if a websites requires and SSL connection, you must have a dedicated IP for each SSL site.
Servers ordered from Sago Networks comes with 2 ips standard, and if you need more you can ask support@sagonet.com.
Normal IP's
Most servers have normal, public ips. These are "routable" and can be pinged and traced. Here are a few examples:
- 66.118.128.10 <- Sago support technicians come from this ip
- 66.118.170.2 <- One of Sago's resolving name servers
- 4.2.2.2 <- Verizon's DNS server, easy to remember
Private IP's
Private ips are ones that are not routeable on the internet, and are usually behind a NAT.
- 10.x.x.x
- 192.168.x.x
- 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
Special IP's
- 127.0.0.1 <- This ip always refers to the server that you are on. Its also known as the loopback ip.
