I started to post a quick reply to the effect that my ISP
<http://www.eclipse.net.uk/> offers static ip(s) at no extra charge - you
have to prove a need to get more than 2); and that GoDaddy offers a
'dedicated hosting IP' for $2.99/mo.....
then my head started to hurt because these aren't the same thing (are
they??) - the static IP from my ISP is me here (?), and also
www.hawthorn-cottage.com (?) - whereas my hosted sites with GoDaddy (e.g.
http://www.andy-davies.com/andy/) are dsn entries pointing to a GoDaddy
server (aren't they??) - so what is a 'dedicated hosting IP' ?
Ouch! - Perhaps someone could please explain what I am trying to say?

Maybe because the only option that is reasonably priced is for a
dynamic IP? Like around here, for example?
RoadRunner offers fixed IPs only with their Business Class service,
which *starts* at about $350/month. My residential service is $50/
month. Since I don't sell anything, but I *do* run a webserver (oh,
and an email list or 10), why should I pay an extra $300/month?
