What is the difference between IRS Hostings Public Network and Private Network?
Public Network The Public Network utilizes IP addresses that are routable, or available to anyone with a public IP address (anyone accessing a server across the Internet). The advantage to a Public Network is the ability to pass information freely to anyone who cares to access it. Private Network The Private Network utilizes IP addresses that are non-routable, or not accessible to people using publicly-routable IP addresses unless accessed through a VPN. The advantage to a Private Network is no one without access to it, either by being physically connected or by being connected via a VPN, can access the nodes on that network. An advantage that IRS Hosting has over its competitors is the fact that every server has a public connection, and a private connection. Any information that the customer wishes to restrict between two or more servers can easily be done over the Private Network without having to move servers and interconnect the two.
