What is a static and a dynamic IP?
Static IP addresses are set in your computer or other network device manually. It won’t change unless you change it manually.
Dynamic IP addresses are the exact opposite. They are assigned automatically by what is called a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.Dynamic IP addresses change – your computer will be allocated different ones at different times.
A Dynamic IP address is suitable if you have:
1.several computers on an internal network with internet access on all of them – Dynamic IP addresses allow several devices to share limited address space
2. a single computer that connects to your head office on a one-way Virtual Private Network
A Static IP address is suitable if you:
1. run your own website
2.run your own email server
3.access a virtual private network from multiple PCs via a single broadband service
4.run an FTP server
5.use off-site server duplication
6.use certain security applications, like centralised cameras and polling software..

An IP (Internet Protocol) is the address of your computer when it’s on the Internet. It is supplied to you by your ISP. Dial-up connections have them too. Most ordinary dial-up connections are supplied with a dynamic IP – every time you dial in to your ISP, you are given a separate IP. This has no effect at all on your Internet experience. It is possible for your ISP to provide you with the same IP address every time you connect. This is generally only required for businesses. As ADSL is an always-on connection (you are not charged by the minute for either your Internet connectivity or your phone connection), you tend to end up with the same IP address all the time anyway. However, if you have to disconnect and reconnect for any reason, you may get a different IP once you’ve reconnected. Some people want to have the same IP guaranteed, regardless of how many times they disconnect and reconnect, and so they request a static IP.
