For various reasons, an Internet user may need to change his dynamic IP address to a static one. Most users now have dynamic IP addresses. They are assigned automatically by the provider when the user logs on to the Internet. A static IP address does not change from session to session.
Instructions
Step 1
First, let's define situations where a static IP address is needed. First, it is impossible to create your own Internet server without a static "IP address". Secondly, a static IP address is required by many "gamers" on game servers for the system to remember them, and also to save their game parameters. Thirdly, static IP addresses may be needed when working with some financial instruments. These are exchange trading platforms, as well as some online banking payment terminals, which, due to security policy, are bound to one IP address.
Step 2
The easiest and most reliable way to get a static IP address is to contact your ISP. For a small fee (usually around $ 5-10 per month), he will add this service for you. If you want to install a server with your own hosting at home, then only this method of obtaining a static IP address is acceptable. It is also best to use this method in the case of electronic financial transactions.
Step 3
There is another way to get a static IP address. It is free and most relevant for gamers. The bottom line is to assign a permanent domain name to a computer that has a dynamic IP address. For these purposes, the program presented on the No-ip.com website is now best suited. To obtain it, you first need to register on this resource, and then download the program. The program settings are very simple. Next, you need to make sure that the program runs on the computer along with the operating system. After accessing the Internet, thanks to this program, on game servers and other resources, you will be initialized to a specific domain name. This will keep your IP address dynamic.
