With the help of GetHost, you can seamlessly obtain the host name and IP address of your computer. It's a small-sized application available through the command-line interface, which fetches both your local and public IP addresses.

This tool caters to users with no previous experience in networking utilities, who must get hold of their PC's host name or IP address to be able to perform various actions, such as giving this information to another person to provide remote computer access.

You don't have to go through an installation procedure with GetHost, since it's portable. This means that you can save the downloaded .exe file anywhere on your hard disk and even make a copy to keep it stored on a thumb drive, in case you want to find out the host name and IP address of any computer you come in contact with. Administrative rights aren't required to get hold of this data.

To use this tool, all you have to do is launch a Command Prompt instance, go to its directory on the disk, then type the file name and extension, and hit Enter.

The software application immediately retrieves your computer's information without scanning, and it displays your host name along with your public and local IP addresses.

Unfortunately, it doesn't have any features for retrieving the host name and IP addresses of other computers in your local network, which would've been useful for preparing for a LAN party.

There is no command available for saving this data to file. However, you can copy the host name and IP addresses using your mouse and send this info to the clipboard by pressing Enter.

All things considered, GetHost proves to be a speedy application that can help you learn your PC's host name as well as public and local IP address with minimum effort on your behalf.
