A static IP gives your business a fixed, permanent internet address. This is essential for hosting systems, enabling remote access, and creating secure networks.
What is a Static IP?
A static IP address does not change and allows external systems to connect reliably to your business network.
When Do You Need a Static IP?
Common use cases include:
-
VPN servers (IPSec, L2TP, OpenVPN)
-
CCTV remote access
-
POS systems requiring whitelisting
-
Hosting internal applications
-
Remote management tools
-
Cloud PBX or SIP devices requiring pinhole access
