Static Ip's

I currently purchase shared hosting off a provider and resell it. I can do this with VPS because its incredbly expensive. I own some servers (rack) with VMWear solus installed. Is there any way to get a static ip so i dont have to keep changing the ip on my servers else where. Without having to spend money on a buisness plan? 

Thanks,

James Wheeler

As far as I'm aware, all of our customers have dynamic IP addresses rather than static ones. 

 

The best people to speak to, to confirm this would be our Broadband Live Chat team.

I remember Bulldog used to sell static IP's but I think they stopped when C&W took them over. Now Vodafone own them I would say it's highly unlikely to get them to offer a static IP on a domestic connection.

Very few ISP's do so, the only large one I can think of of the top of my head is PlusNet.

Otherwise you are into the smaller niche ISP's like AAISP, (who'll give you a shed load of IPV6 addresses)

 

Forgive me for asking but what problem will having a static IP cure?

i have servers off site, if i want to connect mine to the offsite servers i have to whitelist my ip at home. I can't keep changing the ip aswell as giving my customers new VPS ip's every week
