All Implemented Interfaces:

DtoFactory<HostAddress>, Internable<HostAddress>, Serializable, Comparable<HostAddress>
```
public final class HostAddress
extends Object
implements Comparable<HostAddress>, Serializable, DtoFactory<HostAddress>, Internable<HostAddress>
```
Represents a host's address as either a DomainName or an InetAddress. To not allow the IP address representation, use DomainName instead. No DNS lookups are performed during validation.
