(computing) a set of numbers separated by dots that a computer with an active Internet connection is identified with
An IP address, or Internet Protocol address, is a unique string of numbers assigned to each device connected to a network, such as the Internet. It allows devices to identify and communicate with each other by providing an address for sending and receiving data. There are two types of IP addresses: IPv4, which consists of four sets of numbers, and IPv6, a newer version with a longer address format to accommodate more devices. An IP address is essential for browsing the web, sending emails, and using online services.

the system in HTML in which data is being sent and received on World Wide Web
HTTP, or Hypertext Transfer Protocol, is a system used for transferring data over the Internet. It defines how messages are formatted and transmitted between web browsers and servers. When a user enters a website address, the browser sends an HTTP request to the server where the website is stored. The server then responds with the requested data, such as web pages, images, or other content. HTTP is the foundation of data communication on the World Wide Web, enabling users to access and interact with websites.
a network for communication between computers, usually within a building
a decentralized naming system used on the Internet to translate human-readable domain names into numerical IP addresses that computers can understand, enabling the proper routing of data between devices and servers
DNS, or Domain Name System, is a system that translates human-readable website names, like www.example.com, into numerical IP addresses that computers use to identify each other on the Internet. It acts as a phonebook for the internet, helping users access websites by typing in easy-to-remember names instead of complex numbers. When a user types a website address into their browser, DNS servers quickly find the corresponding IP address, allowing the user to connect to the correct website. Without DNS, people would need to remember long strings of numbers to visit websites.
