What is a Static IP Address?

Static IP addresses are numeric addresses that uniquely identify computers on the Internet.

Why would I need a Static IP address?

There are advantages to having a unique IP for your site. For example if you were interested in doing e-commerce, SSL would require that your site have a unique and static ip address. In addition, it makes functions such as ftp and firewalls much easier to work with, another reason you would want a static ip is that you may purchase a service for your site that may require it to have a static ip address.

When setting up your domain with us, if you have a static ip address, you can point your users to a new IP, so they don't have to wait for the domain name change to propagate. With a static IP, you can test your site before transferring the domain name to our servers.
