How to Find IP of any Website through Command Prompt

Thursday 25 July 2013



An interesting way to get the IP of a site is to "ping" it. "Pinging" is a command which tells you if the connection between your computer and a particular domain is working correctly and in return it sends you the IP address of particular site.Here are some steps to find IP which are given below.

1).Press “window key + R” to open the “Run” window from Keyboard.

2).Type “cmd” without qoutes in RUN window.

3).Hit “ok”. Command Prompt will open.

4).Once you open the command window, the end of the text will look something like:
c:\Users\[your user name here]>

5). c:\Users\[your user name here]>
Right after the ">" type in ping [the website].com
make sure you put a space between ping and the URL and do not put bracket [ ] around the website name.

6). See an example, pinging myspace: ping myspace.com
7). It will show myspace IP address as: 63.135.80.49
Note: sometimes you will get more than one IP address, that's ok, many sites have multiple IP addresses. Just use any of them. If you get a "Timed Out" then there was an error trying to ping the site
