You may need the IP of your web site for various purposes, such as using it to connect to your web site with FTP or SSH. There are a few utilities which can display your IP, such as the ShowIP extension for Firefox. You can also create a very simple web site which will show the IP of your web site.
Copy and paste the code below into a file called ip.php and save it in the root folder of your web site. Change the $site variable to match the domain of your web site, and then open this page in your web browser, i.e. http://www.guardiansoftware.net/ip.php.
The IP of your web site will be revealed.
