February 28th, 2010

This term is also known as static web hosting where the IP address used never changes. The IP address is assigned by the web hosting company with their hosting packages and it is a 32 bit address grouped in 4.

Dynamic IP Hosting is the opposite of Dedicated IP Hosting. The only thing behind people don’t choose dedicated IP hosting is because of its cost. Although it is not really very costly but the dynamic IP comes for free.

Dedicated IP hosting is the best choice and usually chosen by the people who have their own ecommerce or online business websites. The clients are offered with SSL certificate and anonymous FTP for safety and security of online data and business. Your client base will also feel safe while transferring the data over secured connection but you will not getting any of these features if you are choosing Dynamic IP hosting.
