server address

Machine's digital coordinates

A server address is the identifier that locates a specific computer on a network, allowing other devices to connect to it.

This may be an IP address (a numeric sequence like 192.168.1.1) or a domain name (like mail.example.com) that resolves to one.

Users enter server addresses when configuring email clients, games, or other software that needs to reach a remote machine: What's the server address for the Minecraft world?
