What is A Static IP?Just as each building on a street has an address, so does each computer on the Internet. This "address scheme" allows you to distinguish between every computer on the Internet. For example, you may have come across a number in association with Internet lingo such as "198.69.121.3"--or something similar. This is an Internet Protocol (IP) address. What is important to note here is that, unless you have purchased what's called a "Static IP Address," your IP address is DIFFERENT every time you call one of our access numbers. Your IP address is assigned to you when you connect for that session, and then will change the next time you connect to your ISP. What will a Static IP Address do for me? The only reason you would need a Static IP Address is if you wish to turn your computer into some sort of server, or if you need to gain access through a firewall. Other examples of uses include using a Static IP Address in conjunction with an email server, a WWW server, or playing a multiuser game with others on the Internet. Additional Notes of Importance A static IP Address will work only while connected to our ISP. It cannot be used with any other provider or account. Your IP address will only be working when you connect to the specific POP for which you purchase the IP Address. Here is what you get for $21.00
