Well said that, I now that that is the ip-address I have been provided by
the isp. As a matter of interest, there is much ambiguity regarding this
confusing 'ip-address' topic and this is as follows:

Like each of us is having an ip-address to communicate over internet,
correct. But each website is also having an ip address! Now what's that,
while on one side we (each host) needs an ip address - for communication
over network or networks - called internet, okay correct and each websites
has its ip address. Now these two ip address are aslo different? Not really
that confusing but typical for me...!

When we create a website of our own, then we need a ip address and we
cannot use the one we actually have from our isp for this purpose?
