I own websites. Does each website have its own IP address? Can I use these sites to get more IP addresses? Thanx

Yous computer at home only uses 1 public ip address and multiple private ip address. It is also possible to host multiple websites and webpages on the same web server using the same public ip addresses. Getting additional PUBLIC ip address are not necessary, unless there is a specific reason to.

Your network has 1 IP address - they are not assigned to specific computers. Rather, your ISP (Internet Service Provider) gives you one for your single Internet connection. When you visit a website, the website's servers automatically log your IP address so they know you visited it. You can get a new IP address through various options (I don't remember what they are) but you cannot have multiple at the same time. You can also block your real IP address and replace it with a fake one for visiting most websites using a proxy site.

No your IP address identifies only the pc your on now. You dont get more and why would you want to, not knowing what it is?

Generally Home Users have only IP address will be given and it is dynamic IP .....Every time when u log on to the internet you will be getting new IP address..so it is not possible to get many ip address at a time... you can use the proxy IP for getting the multiple IPs ....hope this wll help you
