How do I keep my IP Address from changing? ( 6 Views )

1. I have now successfully purchased and setup a domain from godaddy.com with my ip address, however every time I reboot my IP address changes and it takes 24-48 hours to make the change with godaddy.com
   
   How do I keep my IP address from changing? I tried changing the setting on my LAN Properties from Auto-Detect IP Address to a Specific IP Address (Whatever the IP Address was at the time), but when I reboot the IP Address still changes, It just is looking for the wrong one (the old one that is now specified).
   
   Any suggesstions?
   
   Thanks,
   David

2. You'll need to purchase some type of package from your ISP that offers a static IP address if you don't ever want it change. :)

3. You could either do what deadserious mentioned or point your domain name to a dynamic DNS service like DynDNS or Granite Canyon.

4. You can use no-ip.com. it works good for me

5. Warning - while the dynamic DNS services mentioned above will work just fine for your website, don't consider using it for email. Most dynamic IP blocks have been put into blacklists, which are used by a large percentage of email servers these days.
   
   To see if your IP has been blacklisted, go to http://rbls.org/
   
   While developing your sites on your home server is great for testing, a residential-class cablemodem or dsl line is really not designed for the task. Considering hosting is under $5/mo from reputable places these days, you may find you have less hassles, better reliability and uptime, and a better experience by moving to a "real" hosting company.
   
   Something to think about....
