A static IP address gives your broadband connection a fixed online address. This can be useful if you need a more consistent connection for certain services, such as remote access, security systems, gaming, or hosting.
Static IP addresses do not come as standard, but you can add one to your Zzoomm broadband plan for £5 a month.
What is a Static IP address?
Most broadband connections use a dynamic IP address. This means the address can change over time. A static IP address stays the same, so devices and services can connect to it more reliably.
When could a static IP be useful?
- You need to access devices remotely, such as CCTV or home security systems.
- You use services that need a fixed IP address.
- You host servers, websites, or online services from home.
- You want a consistent connection for online gaming or file sharing.
