Address<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both static and dynamic IP addresses are simply different ways routers or <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Internet_service_provider\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Internet service providers<\/a> (ISPs) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geoplugin.com\/resources\/how-are-ip-addresses-assigned-answers-revealed\/\">assign<\/a> them. It\u2019s not that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geoplugin.com\/resources\/types-of-ip-address-functions-and-uses-of-different-ips\/\">IP addresses<\/a> themselves are static or dynamic. Any given IP address can be either static or dynamic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By definition, a static IP address doesn\u2019t change over time. It stays locked to a specific device for as long as needed. An ISP or network administrator usually manually assigns static IP addresses. However, not all ISPs offer static IPs, and even if they do, they may come with an extra cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, a dynamic IP address is temporary and can change from time to time. An automatic process, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dynamic_Host_Configuration_Protocol\">Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol<\/a> (DHCP), is responsible for dynamically assigning IPs to devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although dynamic addresses are temporary, they can be surprisingly stable, especially if you\u2019re not changing networks or rebooting your router a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, a router or any network connecting you to the global internet has two sides: public and private. The public side routes your traffic on the internet, such as fetching you a website you searched for.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The IP address your network uses for these purposes is the public IP address. This IP address can be static or dynamic. All devices in your private network surf the internet using the same public IP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, the private side of your network has devices connected to the router. Each device has a unique IP, called a private IP address. The router depends on these IPs to identify devices separately and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.geoplugin.com\/resources\/non-routing-ip-addresses-definition-importance-and-more\/\">never discloses these IPs to the public<\/a>. Private IP addresses can also be static or dynamic, though they\u2019re usually dynamic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If everything is clear by now, let\u2019s get to the real question: How can I find my static IP address?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.geoplugin.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Depositphotos_129353764_L-6-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Image showing multiple IP addresses on a computer screen.\" class=\"wp-image-2911\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.geoplugin.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Depositphotos_129353764_L-6-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.geoplugin.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Depositphotos_129353764_L-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.geoplugin.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Depositphotos_129353764_L-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.geoplugin.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Depositphotos_129353764_L-6-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.geoplugin.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Depositphotos_129353764_L-6-1568x1046.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/www.geoplugin.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Depositphotos_129353764_L-6.jpg 1999w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Know_My_IP_Address_Is_Static_or_Dynamic_on_Computer\"><\/span>How To Know My IP Address Is Static or Dynamic on Computer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The steps to find the nature of IP are slightly different for PCs and mobile devices.

You can monitor it over time to see if it changes, which is a bit tedious, honestly.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also ask your internet service provider directly. They should be able to tell you whether your public IP address is fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, we\u2019ll answer how to know my <a
