top.. Virtual IP address is an IP address that is shared between multiple webhosters. A static IP address is an IP address that is assigned exclusively for your use. The advantages of having static IP address compared to Virtual IP address are: – Immediate access to webserver, email server and ftp server through IP address. You won’t need to wait for DNS propagation to access your web site. – Website can be accessed with IP address for testing purposes before bringing the website to production status. There are no performance loss or gain by having virtual or static IP address.

A virtual IP address (VIPA) is an IP address assigned to multiple domain names or servers that share an IP address based on a single network interface card (NIC)

Static IP addresses are permanent internet protocol addresses assigned to an individual network by an ISP. These static IP are fixed ones and doesn’t get changed like Dynamic IP.

To find the Virtual IP address of a website or to find the static IP address of a network you can visit http://www.ip-details.com/ It could give you a more clear idea.
