share IP address and dedicated IP?

Berto · May 9th, 2005, 2:54 AM

share i think you mean dynamic...

Dedicated is where everytime you connect to the network/internet you have the same ip address so you can refereence your home network easily.

Dynamic each time you log on they can potential assign you a different IP address so tracking down your computer from aother locatuion is harder.

There's a slight difference, Bertie: a shared IP is an IP address you share with several other users of the same ISP - the data is sorted out at your ISP's end. A dedicated IP is one you have all to yourself.

What is a Shared IP Address?
Every web server is assigned an IP address. An IP address might look something like this: 248.57.240.83. The server�s IP address generally stays the same all the time. Most websites on the internet are hosted on shared IP addresses, which means that one server with one IP address holds multiple domain names.

It used to be that every domain name had a different IP address, but with the rapid increase of domains needed and the finite number of IP addresses they began to share IPs. Now servers are able to determine by the domain entered in a user�s browser which domain is being requested, even though it may send a request for an IP with hundreds of domains.

What is a Dedicated IP Address?
A dedicated IP address is set aside specifically for one domain, like in the old days. This means that if someone types in the numeric form of the IP address the same domain will always appear in the browser. Dedicated IP addresses are no longer the norm and it usually costs more to get one.
