Re: Static IP = 3 times my current cost?

OK guys please humor me and tell me the advantages of having a static IP?

I might know Malware removal but I sure don't get this.

Thanks...

If you are running a server or want log into your PC remotely, static IP facilitates this by keeping your PC fixed at the same address. It is also useful as additional security layer to VPN and other specialized uses. If a user has a static IP, one can limit access to a specific IP address.

IP addresses are like the internet's telephone numbers. A dynamic IP is like having a phone number that changes periodically. Dynamic IP locator services are available that attempt to keep track of your IP when it changes, but that means being dependent on some other service and software to keep it updated.
