IP AddressAlright people, we have some good news and bad news. Let us start with the bad news first. The world is going to run out of IP addresses in an year.

What does that mean ?
Well, IP address is a unique number assigned to every device which connects to the internet. Like the laptop you are using right now! So now if there are no more IP addresses, there would be no way for new devices to be able to connect to the internet.

“The main reason for the concern? There’s an explosion of data about to happen to the Web thanks largely to sensor data, smart grids, RFID and other Internet of Things data, Other reasons include the increase in mobile devices connecting to the Internet and the annual growth in user-generated content on the Web.” says the author of the ReadWriteWeb blog.

I guess now is the time for some good news. A savior is coming in the form of Ipv6 which is a new way of making Internet addresses, and in this way, a lot more addresses can be generated than the 4bn which can be generated under the presently used Ipv4.

Well but that doesn’t means that you cannot register a domain. There is a great rush going on for domain registration after the launch of .CO domain names recently. Don’t wait and visit http://bit.ly/c6AUw8 or http://bit.ly/9Y8rQ3 to register .Co or other domain at very lowest prices ever.
