To be accurate, the original question is "what is the IP Address of the server hosting content of xyz.com"
Did you know that the server that know the IP Address of xyz.com is called the Authoritative Server?
Did you also know that you are offending the terms of use of sketchboard.io/ by taking a screenshot of a board to get rid of the watermark ?

Nope the original question was the question I just asked myself. It was something I wanted to know 2.5 years ago and wrote about it in medium and now shifted it across.

AlsoI've been paying for sketchboard since 2017 when I did udemy courses, if that's what you're trying to imply. I'm sure a single screenshot won't kill their business and if it is really that big of an issue I'm sure I can draw that up on something else and post it up 😂

IP is not IP Address
A domain name does not have an IP Address, a server does

I won't do further comments about sketchboard.io, if you can draw this simple figure, the do it legally
