What else is included with the service? With the business service you get a static IP address, unlimited data usage and SMTP server details.
What is a static IP address? A static IP address is a number that is assigned to your computer. When you log on to the Internet your IP address is like your home address or telephone number. It identifies who you are. Having ADSL means you are always on line. It is important to run a firewall to prevent hackers getting into your system, particularly if you have a fixed IP address. A Static IP address also allows you to run a server. Can I have more than one Static IP address? Yes. This allows you to assign an IP address to as many PC’s as you like that are connected to your LAN. You may also want to run a hardware firewall and so will need an extra IP address for this set up. Please note that all IP address allocations are subject to strict requirements set out by RIPE. Additional IP addresses can be purchased when ordering your service. How can I run a LAN set up with only one Static IP address? Many people prefer to use this set up as it offers a basic protection from hackers.
