What are static IP and dynamic IP? What is the difference between them? Which one is better? Regarding this question, it is not difficult to find that there are many explanations on Zhihu and Zhihu, but according to the editor's discovery, these answers are all professional terminology explanations about static IP and dynamic IP, which ordinary non-professional personnel cannot understand at all. So, today the editor will explain it to you based on many years of experience in the IP industry:
What is a static IP?
Static IP is also called long-term IP. It is an external IP address that remains unchanged for a long time or forever. Where can we see it? The server IP used to build a website is a fixed static IP address. In addition to building a website, the server can also be used to build a proxy IP, so it is the long-term proxy IP we buy on the market.
Advantages of static IP:
1. Better stability. The hardware and software resources of a server belong to you alone, which is more secure during use.
2. Higher security, one IP address is only used by you
3. There are fewer management and after-sales problems. Static IPs all belong to independent servers, so there will be fewer after-sales problems and it is very convenient to handle them.
Disadvantages of static IP:
1. Since the IP is a fixed IP assigned by the operator, it is too simple and limited to meet non-business-specific requirements, and the price is relatively high.
What is a dynamic IP?
Dynamic IP is also called short-term IP. An IP address will become invalid and change to a new IP address within a certain period of time. There are currently two forms of dynamic IP in the market:
1. When the optical modem of the home broadband is restarted, the IP address will change (for daily use, generally not noticeable)
2. Use a short-term http proxy built through a dial-up VPS server, use a fixed server IP, and get a new IP after the IP expires within a certain period of time.
Advantages of dynamic IP:
1. Rich IP resources, covering cities in all provinces across the country, with high availability
2. There are many commercial uses (big data collection business) and it is suitable for a wide range of businesses.
3. Low price, high price-performance ratio, easy to operate, and highly convenient.
Disadvantages of dynamic IP:
1. The IP library is shared (there are only these IPs in China), and the usage rate is determined by your own business
2. Bandwidth resources are limited and usage is relatively static and slow.
The above is a non-professional terminology introduction to static IP and dynamic IP, as well as an introduction to the advantages and disadvantages between the two. So, which one is better, static IP or dynamic IP?
A: It depends on your needs.
Example:
1. If you are a gaming business, static IP is recommended
2. If you are engaged in big data collection business, dynamic IP is recommended
Summary: If there is no requirement for the number of IPs, choose static IP (more stable). If the business requires more IPs, dynamic IP is recommended.
