Static and Shared IP Web Hosting

Doug — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 22:46:15 +0000

IP address is an important term associated with web hosting. Two types of IP addresses are shared and static IP addresses.You have a better understanding of these terms only after you have appreciated the actual meaning of IP addresses.

Basically, IP address is used to address all the sites of the internet.Instead of typing the url, typing the IP address will lead you to different sites.Four discreet block of numbers which are separated by periods constitute an IP address.A few examples of IP addresses are 64.191.62.74 and 192.168.0.1.

However specific IP addresses are not allotted to all websites.There is a chance of there being no IP addresses to be used for websites in the future if all sites were to be allocated different IP addresses today.You can thus find many sites on servers using a single IP address for numerous sites.

When two websites share the same IP addresses, we have a shared IP address.A person looking for the first website of the IP address reaches the server wherein the server sends the required page to the person on realizing which website the person is looking for.

Sites that have its own IP address, and do not share it with anyone else, have a static IP address in the web hosting world.To reach a website with a static IP address, all you require is its IP address.

On the contrary, sites that have a shared IP address cannot be reached by just typing in the IP address.You need to mention the domain name of the website you are looking for so that the server can direct you to the website you want.It is however better to use web hosts offering static IP addresses if you require more security for your website.

Cheap Web Hosting with great Tech Support?

Doug — Thu, 28 Aug 2008 12:44:00 +0000

Too good to be true?

Well, as one of the UK’s best cheap web hosting providers, we wanted to explain why we are able to offer such low cost web hosting packages, whilst offering support that you would expect from a top priced hosting plan.

One of the main things we pride ourselves on at Pixel Internet is outstanding technical support, regardless to what hosting plan your are on. Fast responses are a top priority, even if it’s just to let you know “we’re working on it“.

We have heard a lot of horror stories from people’s experience with other hosting providers including members of our own team:

“A few years ago, before I started working for Pixel Internet, I had a small personal website that I hosted with a big UK web hosting provider (naming no names). At first things seemed pretty good, but it wasn’t long before I was having to wait 12hours+ for a response from their technical support. What’s worse, when I did get a response it was a one line answer that didn’t even answer the question! Frustrating is not the word!”

S.Bahmanyar, Pixel Internet Technical Support Team

Comments like this is something Pixel Internet will always want to avoid. We believe our customers should be treated as individuals not just another number. Our Technical Support team are trained to give you the best support experience possible and we will always do our best to keep you informed along the way and deal with your request as quickly as possible.

Don’t just take our word for it… read some of our customers testimonials. Why not contact them and find out about their experience with Pixel Internet, or have a chat with our Sales Team who will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have about our services and support.
