Quick Question: How to Find IP of a Website?
Hey everyone,
I’ve been wondering—what’s the easiest way to find the IP of a website? I know you can use the command prompt with `ping` or `nslookup`, but is there a simpler method?
Also, does the IP change often? Like, if I find it once, will it stay the same?
I’ve heard some sites use CDNs or cloud hosting, so the IP might not be straightforward. Any tips or tools you’d recommend for how to find ip of website reliably?
Thanks in advance!
(PS: If this has been asked before, sorry—I did a quick search but couldn’t find a clear answer.)

The easiest way to find the IP of a website is using the `ping` command in cmd or terminal. Just type `ping example.com` and it’ll show the IP.
For a more detailed lookup, try `nslookup example.com`. Some sites use CDNs, so the IP might vary. Tools like MXToolbox or DNS Checker can help if you need more reliability.
And yeah, IPs can change, especially with cloud hosting.

If you’re not into command line stuff, just google "how to find ip of website" and use online tools like WhatIsMyIPAddress or IPvoid.
They’re super simple—paste the URL, and bam, you get the IP. Some sites rotate IPs, so don’t rely on it staying the same forever.

Hey! I usually use `dig` if you’re on Linux/Mac. Just open terminal and type `dig +short example.com`.
For Windows, `nslookup` works fine.
Sites behind Cloudflare or AWS will show different IPs, so it’s not always straightforward.

Pro tip: If you’re dealing with a site that uses a CDN, the IP might not be the real server IP.
Try tools like ViewDNS or SecurityTrails for deeper DNS records. They sometimes show origin IPs even behind proxies.

OP here—thanks for all the replies! I tried `ping` and it worked for some sites, but others showed different IPs (probably CDNs).
Gonna check out ViewDNS and WhatIsMyIPAddress too.
Quick follow-up: If a site’s IP changes, does that mean it’s always using a CDN, or could it be something else?

lol just ping it. But if that doesn’t work (thanks, CDNs), try this site: https://www.whatsmydns.net/
It shows IPs from different locations, which helps if the site’s IP changes based on where you are.

For a noob-friendly way, use Chrome extensions like "IP Address and Domain Information".
Just click the icon while on the site, and it shows the IP. Super handy if you hate typing commands.

If you’re into scripting, Python’s `socket.gethostbyname()` works too.
But for quick checks, I stick with `ping` or online tools like DNSChecker.
CDNs make this tricky tho—IPs can be different every time.

Some websites hide their real IP behind services like Cloudflare. In that case, tools like CrimeFlare might help uncover the origin IP.
But yeah, most times, `ping` or `nslookup` is enough for how to find ip of website.
