What is a static public IP address?

A static public IP address is a fixed, permanent address assigned to a device on the internet. Unlike a dynamic IP address, which can change frequently and is automatically assigned by an Internet Service Provider (like welo), a static IP remains the same.

Why would someone want a static IP address?

For day-to-day online use like browsing, streaming, or gaming, a static IP address isn’t generally needed. It’s most often used by businesses or users who require a consistent, unchanging online presence for hosting a website or setting up a server.

What are the advantages of having a dynamic IP over a static IP?

**Enhanced security **- An IP address that changes periodically creates a layer of obscurity for your network. This can help reduce the chances of persistent cyberattacks by hackers and malware users trying to target your network.

Hassle-free network management - When you connect a new device to your network, it automatically gets assigned an available IP address from a pool through a process called Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Thanks to a dynamic IP address, you never have to manually configure your device’s IP settings.
