Find Website IP Address
To find your Websites IP address you can do two things.
1. To go your Dreamhost WebPanel and click on Domains > Manage Domains then click on the DNS under your Domain name that you would like to see the IP address.
You will then be taken to the DNS management page which you will see the site's A record which is your sites IP address
2. The other way to look up your sites IP address is to use a shell command "dig" to do this you will need to enable shell access on your FTP user account if you haven't already.
You will then open up your shell program (Putty in this case) and login to your account using your FTP login info. Once you are inside and on the command prompt you can type this in
dig @ns1.dreamhost.com yourdomain.com
This will tell the program to look up the IP address of your site on our system and the results will show you the A record/IP address.
