xxx.yyy.com (or IP address)— this is the host name (or IP address) associated with the requester (you as the visitor). Depending on the requester's method of network connection, the host name (or IP address) may or may not identify a specific computer. Connections via many Internet Service Providers (ISP) assign different IP addresses for each session, so the domain name identifies only the ISP. The IP address will identify a specific computer if that computer has a fixed IP address.
