What is a text version of an IP address called?

IP Addresses don't necessarily have text addresses. http://www.ansers.com has an IP address, it is currently 216.8.179.26. You can see the IP address of any website by using the ping utility on any computer. If you want your IP address to have a text translation you could sign up for a service like DynDns. DynDns is a free service and can be found at dyndns.org. The format you are used to seeing IP addresses in, such as 192.168.1.100, has a binary equivilant. Really, the only reason we use the decimal version is because it is easier to read and remember. 192.168.1.100 would be 11000000.10101000.00000001.11001000 in binary.

What is significant with the dots . in the IP address?

Answer:The dots divide the IP address into sections. There are actually two types of IP address formats used today. IPv4 and IPv6. For simplicity sake I'll just show you a sample of IPv4. (IPv6 expanded the addresses from 32bit to 128bit)Here's an IP address 192.168.0.1_________ 11000000.1010100.00000000.00000001So the IP address is converted into binary language (all the 0's and 1's) which the computer can understand.
