Static IP
A fixed network address for your office — makes remote access far easier.
An IP address is like your broadband’s “street number” on the internet. Ordinary broadband keeps changing its number (a dynamic IP); a static IP gives you one that never changes. That lets the outside world reliably reach your office — handy for VPN (staff connecting back to the office network securely from outside), hosting your own server, or viewing CCTV remotely. A static IP is normally an add-on to business broadband.
Companies whose staff connect back to the office remotely, who host their own server or website, link branches with a site-to-site VPN, or want to view shop CCTV from outside.
Same product, different names.
Each carrier brands this differently — here’s how to recognise it when you compare quotes.
The honest pros and cons.
Benefits
- The address never changes — set up remote access, VPN or a server once and it stays put.
- Makes it easy to host your own website, mail or NAS server that the outside can reliably reach.
- More reliable remote CCTV and access-control viewing — no dropouts because the IP changed.
- Choose a single IP or a block, depending on how many devices need to face the internet.
Watch-outs
- It’s a paid add-on — each IP carries a monthly fee.
- More internet exposure means you must lock down the firewall and security, or you become a target.
- Usually tied to your current provider — you can’t take the IP with you when you switch or move.
Indicative pricing: a single static IP is roughly $100–$250/mo; a block (e.g. 8 or 16 IPs) costs more, priced by quantity and usually requested separately.
