IP Addresses
On our ADAPTIVE 2 web hosting plan you are assigned a unique IP address (i.e. 64.23.87.65) for your web site. On our ADAPTIVE-1 web hosting plan uses name-based hosting. Simply put we are sharing the IP Address with many web sites. You will not notice any difference between name-based and IP based hosting. However, name-based hosting is not currently compatible with SSL (Secure Server). If you plan on needing SSL on your site choose our ADAPTIVE-2 web hosting plan.
Name-based virtual web site hosting or "IP-less" virtual web hosting is becoming commonly utilized and accepted as a way to reduce the number of required IP addresses.
Because the number of available IP Addresses on the Internet is limited, many factors must be considered in the determination of address space allocations. Therefore, IP address space is allocated to ISP's using a slow-start model. Allocations are based on justified need, not solely on a predicted customer base.
