Whats-My-IP-Service without all this crap

Uh, no? Knowing your public IP is valuable information sometimes and you need an external source to tell you that. Knowing your machine's IP is not something you should go to a website to look up, just check your local config.

Thanks for the feedback, it should now display the correct HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR-header if available.

Given that it's a .jp subdomain, it's likely geared towards Japanese. Denisu is a valid shortening of DNS - the characters to spell it in katakana would be デニス, and potentially easier to remember for Japanese than "whatismyip," a fully qualified english query. Unless someone out there who knows more about Japanese than I do (admittedly, very little) can confirm that デニス or でにす is an actual word (google translate detected でにす as a phrase, giving me "su to the," which makes sense grammatically..)

Funny enough, it's also the romanjification of "dennis" (one of the first hits on google for it is dennis rodman's japanese wikipedia article).

Ah, but i do find the speed test available at http://www.whatismyip.com/ useful.

http://myip.dk/ is short and simple.

Or just paste this in a .php file:

<?php print $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; ?>

Then you've got the IP address without any frills.

I've always been partial to http://ipchicken.com . It's got commercial motives, but it's easy to spell, it's easy to ask people to go to it and have them remember, and the numbers are giant and readable. This is all good!

For you minimalists: http://checkip.dyndns.org/

The full response of which being:

<html><head><title>Current IP Check</title></head><body>Current IP Address: xx.xx.xx.xx</body></html>

That's surely not minimal. What you need is a simple plain-text: xx.xx.xx.xx.

or even better, an easy-to-parse key value pair:

ip=208.128.7.7
