How do ISPs obtain public IP addresses?

"ISPs obtain allocations of IP addresses from a local Internet registry (LIR) or national Internet registry (NIR), or from their appropriate Regional Internet Registry (RIR)" http://www.iana.org/numbers/


Do all ISP's assign a permanent number to customers?

No, ISPs are free to assign either Static IPs or Dynamic IPs. Most prefer to assign Dynamic IPs as it gives them more freedom and allows them to support more users than their available IPs, as most users are only online for limited periods and don't need an IP when offline. Usually to get a Static IP a customer must request it from the ISP and pay an extra fee.


Who supplies the IP address?

IP addresses are supplied by Internet Service Providers (ISPs), which are organizations that provide users with internet access. When a user connects to the internet, the ISP assigns an IP address from its pool of available addresses. Additionally, in larger organizations or networks, static IP addresses may be assigned by network administrators for specific devices.


What is responsible for assigning IP addresses to network administrators?

IP addresses are typically assigned to network administrators by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and regional internet registries (RIRs) such as ARIN, RIPE NCC, and APNIC. These organizations allocate blocks of IP addresses to Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and large organizations based on their needs. Network administrators then assign specific IP addresses from these allocated blocks to devices within their local networks. In smaller networks, administrators may also use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers to automate the assignment of IP addresses to devices.


How does a webpage know where you live?

IP addresses are allocated in blocks to countries and regions; furthermore, the addresses assigned by ISPs to their users can typically be identified with a specific metropolitan area. Thus your IP address may give some indication of your location; visit www.IP2Location.com to see how this works. If you want to hide your location when surfing the web, use a proxy server; web sites will see the server's IP address, not yours.
