An IP address is a unique number identifying the location of your computer on the Internet, enabling it to communicate with other computers.
A Ghost static IP address means your computer is assigned a fixed, permanent address that is unique to you and does not change. You will need a static IP address, if you want to:
Run your own FTP server
Run your own website
Host online gaming sessions
Host your own website or domain name server
Connect to your computer from anywhere in the world via remote access
Ensure other computers can locate your computer anywhere across the internet
Conduct voice-over- IP calls or other web-based services
Note all Ghost connections come with a static IPv4 and IPv6 address.
