This way, it’s easier for them to track what their clients are doing." Might be for some operators, but RCN in DC assigned IP addressed that expire in three days regardless of activity. Kind of makes sense otherwise you would need many more IP addresses if people kept them while only using them once a week or so. I have Cox cable now and the IP address is only assigned for 24 hours. It was possible to order a static IP address, but it cost extra. So if for no other reason, it is one way to get more money out of you. As for tracking, that is no problem as the IP addresses are assigned to the operator. He just has an extra column in his data table to keep track of who had what address at what time. Then all your activity is logged under your customer number. Simple really;) “I believe typically, you keep the same IP unless you don’t sign on for a 2-3 weeks, so if you use the internet everyday you’ll have the same IP forever.

I chose Godaddy cause..

1. They’re a reputable company. They have TV ads in the states.
2. No more blaming anything on my domain registrar, cause they ARE my domain registrar
3. I’ve been using them as my domain registrar for many years, anytime I’ve needed help they’ve been courteous and competent.
