Besides hosting, domains are the second-most important element to make a website available online.

But did you know that domains are only placeholders? They are stand-ins for IP addresses, which look something like this: 192.0.2.1.

IP addresses are like home addresses for devices on a network, helping them find and communicate with each other. On the internet, this usually means a server—a computer that stores and shares websites so people can visit them.
