When you need Static IP Addresses

You need one or more Static IP addresses if any of the following are true:

1. You run one or more Web server's directly on your site that require external access (from the Internet or an Extranet).
2. You run one or more E-mail server's directly on your site that require external access (from the Internet or an Extranet).
3. You run one or more FTP server's directly on your site that require external access (from the Internet or an Extranet)
4. You run one or more DNS server's directly on your site that require external access (from the Internet or an Extranet).
5. You run any other service or 'Application' that requires external access (from the Internet or an Extranet). Some Financial Terminal Client and other licensed applications require that you have a static IP address for licensing purposes.
6. You require or allow 'incoming' Video or Audio services. In this case you may need to use static IP addresses. As an example, if you run an on-site IP-PBX you will typically need one or more static IP address(es). However, in some cases audio and/or video client applications (including some IP-PBXs) will require you to connect, or register, with an external server which will forward incoming traffic. When using these types of clients/applications you do not need a static IP address. Verify the details with the client/application supplier.
