 We provide this Dynamic DNS type service in the off chance that for some reason we had to change your IP address in a hurry.  So for example, if your iPhone connects to your camera system at your house, instead of putting in an IP address, you would put in your static hostname (i.e ckt04.hosts.caltel.com:[port #]).  If your IP address ever changed, you would never know. We provide this Dynamic DNS type service in the off chance that for some reason we had to change your IP address in a hurry.  So for example, if your iPhone connects to your camera system at your house, instead of putting in an IP address, you would put in your static hostname (i.e ckt04.hosts.caltel.com:[port #]).  If your IP address ever changed, you would never know.

 We honestly would try not to.  It is a lot of work for us.  We recently had to change a bunch of IP addresses because a DDoS attack was targeting it to the point they were unusable, and affecting other people.  In that case, we had to change it rapidly, on a weekend, and being labeled, as “Sticky” would not have mattered.  In the future we could theoretically have to change IP addresses to accommodate network infrastructure changes or something.  If that were the case, we would contact you prior to making the change, and schedule it with you. We honestly would try not to.  It is a lot of work for us.  We recently had to change a bunch of IP addresses because a DDoS attack was targeting it to the point they were unusable, and affecting other people.  In that case, we had to change it rapidly, on a weekend, and being labeled, as “Sticky” would not have mattered.  In the future we could theoretically have to change IP addresses to accommodate network infrastructure changes or something.  If that were the case, we would contact you prior to making the change, and schedule it with you.

 We can sell most customers a “Static IP 5 block”.  The IP addresses are manually assigned, and would be less likely to ever have to change.  Each “5 block” consumes eight IPv4 addresses, which are already in limited supply.  This is the only way you can manually enter your IP address. We can sell most customers a “Static IP 5 block”.  The IP addresses are manually assigned, and would be less likely to ever have to change.  Each “5 block” consumes eight IPv4 addresses, which are already in limited supply.  This is the only way you can manually enter your IP address.
