Head Guru Posted October 18, 2002 Share Posted October 18, 2002 (edited) JM - It was a pleasure talking to you on the phone. Although, I hate the invention. Phones....Yuck! Oh, well one good thing about the phone lines, they carry my DSL signal! Ok for dedicated IP's you need to email our sales gurus. In your email make sure you indicate the reason for needing a dedicated IP address. The cost is $16.00 per year, per IP address. The sales gurus will then email you back with the required information. Thats it! Edited September 3, 2003 by borfast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoleneC Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 What's a dedicated IP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayman_ Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 (edited) When you type a URL like www.amazon.com , the internet has no clue what to do with that. There are a bunch of servers out on the WWW called DNS servers. They translate www.amazon.com into a set of long numbers like this 192.168.1.1. Those numbers are called an IP Address. Most accounts on TCH are shared hosting accounts. This means you share a server with many other clients. You also share an IP address with many other clients. No big deal in reality. You still type www.****** and your web site shows up right? In most cases yes. There are some custom software applications that will require a dedicated IP address. So thats it!
