How do I find out what the IP ADDRESS (numerical) is for a domain
name?  i.e. If I wanted to know what IP address www.cnn.com belongs
to, where do I look that up?

Hi!!

To find out what the IP ADDRESS for a domain name just use one of the
following services:

"Whois Source":
Fill the Name Spinner box with the domain name and press the search button.
http://www.whois.sc/

or
"Network solutions Whois Directory":
Fill the search box and select Domain name for the search. Press the Search button.

For example the IP address found for www.cnn.com at "Whois Source" is 64.236.24.4 .
http://www.whois.sc/cnn.com

For additional info follow the link "64.236.24.4" in the result page:
http://www.whois.sc/64.236.24.4


Other pages that offer this service for free are:

"ARIN WHOIS Database Search" from the American Registry for Internet
Numbers (ARIN) site:

Or, you could just open up a command prompt and:
ping www.cnn.com

Pinging cnn.com [64.236.16.52] with 32 bytes of data:
