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 multi-user 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 account for which you purchase the IP Address. Also note that all accounts are charged a one-time setup fee of $15 to cover the cost of provisioning your static IP line.

Note that while your dialup will work almost immediately, it will take 1-2 business days before we can provision your static IP. We will send you an email as soon as our technicians have earned their $15 and notify you that your new assigned personal IP address is ready for use.
