The DNS translates Internet domain and host names to IP addresses. DNS automatically converts the names we type in our Web browser address bar to the IP addresses of Web servers hosting those sites.
Public Internet Protocol Addresses, also called Public IP addresses, are addresses assigned to computers so that they can find each other on the Internet. They are the Internet's equivalent of a physical mailing address. A not-for-profit organization called ICANN, Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, coordinates all public IP address assignments. IP addresses allow computers to send packets of information to each othe, which allows people to surf the Internet, send and receive email, instant message, and use many other Internet-based applications.
The biggest advantages of Dynamic IP Addressing are less security risk as the computer is assigned a new IP address each time the customer logs on, they are cost effective and there is automatic network configuration (the less human intervention with network configuration the better). Dynamic addressing is usually used by ISP's so that one IP address can be assigned to several users, however some ISP's use Sticky Dynamic IP Addressing and do not change the IP address very often. Dynamic IP Addressing can be used by families
If you feel the need to always know what your IP address is then you need a Static IP address, because it is constant. Static IP addresses are more reliable for Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP), more reliable to host a gaming website or to play X-Box, Play Station, use Virtual Private Network for secure access to files from your company network computer, etc. Static IP addresses are also great if you use your computer as a server, as it should give your file server faster file uploads and downloads. Another plus with Static IP's, when hosting a website you are not sharing your IP with another company who sends out a lot of E-mail SPAM and not only has their website been shut down but in turn gets your IP
Web hosting is the storage of a website and the delivery of its web pages to the Internet. With shared hosting, also known as virtual hosting, the web host houses the files for several websites on the same server. This allows your website to maintain a strong connection to the Internet without the cost of running your own server.
