How to get the IP address from the Domain Name in Java?

Question

I am writing an application where I need the IP address. I have a domain name and I would like to know how to get the IP address from it. For example, "www.girionjava.com". How could I get the IP address of this website by programming in Java? Thanks.

Answer 1

InetAddress giriAddress = java.net.InetAddress.getByName("www.girionjava.com"); 

Then, if you want the IP as a String

String address = giriAddress.getHostAddress();
