# Determine The IP Address Of A Domain

|
The `dig` (domain information grouper) command can be used to get more
|
|
information about a domain name. To discover the IP address for a given
|
|
domain, invoke `dig` with the domain as an argument.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ dig joshbranchaud.com
|
|
|
|
; <<>> DiG 9.8.3-P1 <<>> joshbranchaud.com
