 | View Full Version : IP name based domains carpman 06-07-2001, 06:21 AM When does a domain need an IP address instead of being name based? What sort of difference in price should there be between an account with an IP address and one that is named based? windchill 06-07-2001, 09:24 AM A domain needs a seperate ip if it uses one of the following: -SSL (secure certificate) -Anonymous FTP I think thats about it, but correct me if I left something out. I can't tell you about the difference in price 'cause I've never considered offering those two addtitional services. hth Marc cperciva 06-07-2001, 09:34 AM Originally posted by windchill I think thats about it, but correct me if I left something out. Support for pre-1995 web browsers? ;) Brian Farkas 06-12-2001, 07:51 PM Originally posted by cperciva Support for pre-1995 web browsers? ;) :) Yeah, I see a lot of hosting sites that offer IP based hosting say that name based hosting does not work in some browsers... I'd like to know who still uses a 1.0 browser at this point in time. Also, if someone is using a 3rd party DNS service, they may need to point their site to a dedicated IP address. Also an IP is needed for nameservers, of course. Other than those and the reasons above, I can think of any others.

On our shared IPs, anon FTP works fine. carpman 06-13-2001, 09:23 AM How do you manage anon ftp for name based domains? we have whm and it does not seem possible |
