For example, without this service, you have to type '185.60.216.35' in your browser instead of www.facebook.com to access Facebook. IP - Domain mappings are kept on DNS servers. You can query those matches on securityforeveryone.com
There is two type of IP addresses IPv4, and IPv6. IPv4 address looks like these:
8.8.8.8 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255

::ffff:808:808 0:0:0:0:0:ffff:0808:0808 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:ffff:0808:0808
