How do I link to an IP number

Support Team posted this 11 March 2021

عبدالله,

The link with IP should work the same as any other links. You just need to insert IP instead of the domain name. There is nothing specific to Nicepage. You can add an absolute link with IP in a usual way. But please make sure that the same link can be opened directly in the browser.

The following information should be useful too:

Write a website first. Save it on your computer. Use an APACHE Server as a web server for your website. If you can reach your website over localhost:80, you are almost good to go.

Now comes the Hosting part.

First of all, you need full control over your internet connection.

Assuming you have full control, you can open inbound ports in your router. If you serve your files on port 80, you have to enable inbound port 80. Which basically means turning off the firewall of your router for that port. There might be a firewall on your computer too. Needless to say you need to turn it off. Your computer will now be accessible by the internet. It would be best to keep in mind that your computer needs to stay on and doesn't have a domain yet. You will only be able to access your site via IP. Just google “what is my IP,” and you will know your IP. BUT depending on your provider, it might also change. Sometimes daily.

What kind of operating system you are going to use as a server. Every day you will be getting thousands of failed requests. Because the internet is full of bots that are scanning every single IP address on the internet and also every typical port, like - you guessed it - port 80, but also 3306 (MySQL), 21 (FTP), 22(SSH), and so on…
