Re: Dedicated IP vs Dynamic IP
Thank you everyone for responding to this post message. I just finish speaking with a DSL Extreme tech and he pretty much answered my specific question(s)I was asking. I have a better understanding on why you would want to use a static over a dynamic. I did not include on the post that that the web site that is being under construction will be used for a small business and will eventually be accepting credit cards and using e- shopping carts. Thanks for all your feedback. |

| I have a feeling from both your posts (and even from the first one) you were talking about DSLExtreme web-hosting (not as an ISP). If you were running the server yourself (and DSL Extreme on an ISP) then whether multiple sites are on the same IP or not would have to do with your server setup and whether it used virtual hosts or not (Since DSL Extreme never shares IPs on the ISP end). Definitely couldn't comment on their hosting but I would assume they are shared IPs unless you pay an extra fee for a unique IP address (atleast that is how it is with the company I work for and 99% of all other shared hosts I know of).

|  Hello houkouonchi,
Excuse my ignorance I am not well versed on "virtual hosts". Can you tell me what you mean by ("Since DSL Extreme never shares IPs on the ISP end).? I did talk to a DSL Extreme Tech and I mentioned that, "I understand a Dynamic IP can be shared by an unlimited number of different domains on one IP, and if I shared an IP with an unseemly website owner who is trying to beat the system I run the risk of having the entire IP banned instantly losing search credibility". Which he did not deny and in turn responded and suggested that by turning off port 25 my hosting company can administer opting for a Static IP on my DSL Extreme account and if I was banned I can check a web site www.mxtoolbox.com to find out. Since we do not have a
a web site up yet and did not pursue the question any further. I left it at that. My immediate questions were answered and was satisfied with the response. |
