Translating from a domain name to an IP address is something your computer has to do each time you access the internet.Dyndns site prvide tools that translates human-understandable hostnames (like dyndns.com) into computer-understandable IP addresses (like 204.13.248.117) and back again.

To translate url to ip address ping that site. Go to start > run > command prompt > type ping site name. When you type command ping google.com it will show you the response from that site with ICMP acknowledgement in form of packet and also display the ip address of that site.

Every URL is made up of a hostname (alternatively, IP address), a port number, the pathname of the file to be fetched or the program to be run. The Domain Name System makes it possible to assign domain names to groups of Internet users in a meaningful way, independent of each user's physical location. When you open any website with url name, it will send the request to dns for that particular file. It identify the site name by the ip address.
