Works with IPv4 and IPv6. You can also link straight to a result with /tools/ip/?ip=8.8.8.8.

Expand an IPv6 address

Convert an abbreviated IPv6 address into its full expanded form. This is useful for configuration files and firewall rules that require the complete notation.

You can also link straight to a result with /tools/ip/?ipv6=2a01:a500:1087:9::1.

Whitelist your IP

For security reasons, many hosting control panels limit access by IP address. Whitelist your IP address (shown above) so you are not blocked when accessing your:

  • cPanel or DirectAdmin control panel
  • FTP accounts
  • Webmail services
  • Database administration tools

If your IP changes frequently, consider a VPN with a static IP for more reliable access.

IP blocked?

If your IP has been blocked, you may notice these symptoms:

  • Unable to access your control panel
  • FTP connection failures
  • Your website loads for everyone else but not you
  • Error messages about IP restrictions

Host Media customers can unblock their IP through the client portal, or contact our support team if you cannot access your account.

It shows your public IP address, the one the internet sees you from. Your device's private address (typically starting 192.168 or 10.) is only visible inside your own network and is not shown here.

IP geolocation is approximate. It usually places you near your internet provider's routing point rather than your exact address, and a VPN or mobile connection can move it further still. Treat it as a rough region, not a pinpoint.

IPv6 addresses are often written in a shortened form with a double colon (::) standing in for a run of zeros. Expansion rewrites the address in full so you can compare it exactly against firewall rules or DNS records.

Copy your IP from this page and add it to the relevant allow-list in your control panel, or send it to our team. If your connection has a dynamic IP that changes, let us know and we will suggest the best approach.
