What if the site is being coy and trying to hide their domain name?

Most virtual web-hosting companies require customers to have a domain name, but if it's not used anywhere and the website only uses it's IP address to advertise, then it is not easy to be found. Other times a pool of IP addresses is shared between a number of machines - eg on a dynamic-IP dialup connection your machine will be allocated a different IP address each time you connect. These addresses are usually written in Dotted Quad notation, as a series of four 8 bit numbers, written in decimal and separated by periods. For example 151.196.75.10 |

Each number is in the range 0 to 255 - so if you ever see something that looks like an IP address with numbers outside those ranges it's not a real address. The leftmost number is the most significant and the rightmost the least. So... 151.196.75.10 and 151.196.75.11 are right next-door to each other whilst 151.196.75.10 and 152.196.75.10 are completely unrelated. IP Address Nslookup is a tool to find your server IP address. Use windows DOS "Command Prompt" (click Start/Programs/Accessories), when the DOS screen opens, at the prompt enter nslookup followed by the name of the domain. Example - if your domain is mailsbroadcast.com enter; Nslookup mailsbroadcast.com [enter] to display your domain IP address.
