An IP address is the unique address of a server located on the internet. An IP address is similar to a phone number that allows you to connect with a particular phone on a telecom network. It allows your computer to connect directly to a specific server.
The foundation of the whole world wide web is built on domain names and IP numbers.
Networking organisations are assigned IP numbers. Each IP number is recorded by the governing bodies and the organization to which it was assigned. You can track all the details of a domain with a whois IP lookup.
Privacy protection services are offered by some Registrars that enable customers to hide their contact information in the Whois search results to protect their personal data from being misused or stolen. To learn more, contact your Registrar.
According to ICANN's rules, Registrars must ensure that the Whois database contains accurate contact information for the domain owner. Most domain registrars use details supplied by the buyer when the Domain was first registered.
If your information is not matching the Whois results you can contact your Registrar to have it changed. The Whois record will update automatically once this information has been updated. It can take between 24 and 24 hours for the Whois database to reflect this information.
