Static IP explained in 9 questions
What is a static IP?
A static IP is a fixed, unchanging IP address for your business network. While a dynamic address can change over time, a static IP always remains the same. This provides certainty for applications such as remote access, hosting or security cameras.
How does it differ from a standard, dynamic IP?
With a standard internet connection, your modem is assigned a new IP address by the provider each time it reconnects. This address can change after a restart or network update. For everyday use, like browsing, emailing or video calls, this makes little difference. A static IP, however, stays the same, ensuring applications that require continuous access – such as servers, cameras or VPNs – remain stable and secure. For users of these applications, this makes a world of difference.
Why does your business need a static IP?
Businesses rely on digital tools and secure connections. A dynamic address can cause unexpected interruptions. A static IP provides certainty: your network is always reachable and your applications run without disruption. This is crucial for remote access, servers or cameras.
Which businesses benefit most?
A static IP primarily benefits small and medium-sized enterprises that want to manage their network remotely, access servers or cameras, or host their own websites and email servers. It also helps businesses that need reliable communications from their own domain name.
What are the key benefits?
Improved security and access: Safely connect via VPN and manage your servers remotely.
