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. To
start the service please go in your Domain
Control Panel and click on Additional
Services link. The service can be configured/modified at each point in time
during the 12-month period through your domain
Control Panel. This service will be added to the Base Services already included
with the domain transfer/registration. |
