Do dedicated servers come with dedicated IPs?

Question by TransPersonal: Do dedicated servers come with dedicated IPs?
If I understand correctly a shared IP is gotten on shared web servers so does that mean a dedicated IP is gotten on dedicated servers. That is an IP that is used by you and you alone.

yes, but you can also get your own IP if you have a shared server, the cost depends on your company.

You cannot share an IP address within a network. IP address is one that uniquely identifies your computer on a network you’re connected to. i.e. at any time, no two computers can have the same ip address at that instant.

The classification as Shared and Dedicated doesn’t make nay sense. Rather, an IP address can be either STATIC or DYNAMIC.

A STATIC IP is one that your ISP provides you and that belongs to only you always.

A DYNAMIC IP is one that is allocated to you each time you switch on your router and connect to the internet. If dynamic ip is the case, then your ip address will be different each time when you connect to the internet. Also the dynamic ip once allocated to you is released once you switch off your router and any other person trying to connect to net after that might get that ip address allocated to him.

Hello

All dedicated servers come with at least one static dedicated IP. it’s a must not an option as that’s how a server is indentified. That IP is allocated to your server and no one else has “jurisdiction” over it other than you.

Just in case you’re interested, one IP can have many domain names “pointing” to it. This is because the web server software implements a “hack” to allow this.

By the way, my name is Joe and I help run a fully managed dedicated server company. Let me know if you have a question or comment. I’ll be glad to help out with anything. Feel free to email me at joe@unixy.net.

Best
