Internet every day, sharing an IP Address is not a
bad thing. If we did not share IP Address, many of
us would not be able to access the Internet.
In fact, having a dynamic IP Address has some
advantages. The best advantage that a dynamic IP
Address provides is increased security because each
time that you log onto the Internet you receive a
new IP Address. This reduces the risk of hackers
using your IP Address to do you harm. Another
advantage is the lower costs that are realized
because we do share IP Address. A Static IP Address
costs significantly more to own, than a dynamic IP
Address does.
