A static IP address means the IP address (the number
of your site) never changes. Some hosting companies use dynamic IP addressing,
which means the IP number is different each and every time you connect to the
server or they have several domains use 1 IP address. A static IP address provides
your site with a never-changing solid address, which allows you to use it when
FTPing files, or pinging your site, etc. A static IP allows you to have a true
domain name. Static Ip address can be activated for specific features or domains.
