Not sure how many folks pay attention to the ARIN (www.arin.net) guidelines as they update.. but getting IP addresses has been getting harder and harder each year.

The guidelines changed roughly a year ago making ip based hosting an invalid reason to justify IPs.

My company really only does web hosting, and we're starting to run low on IPs... and since ARIN won't issue us more based on our needs, we're thinking of dumping IP based hosting alltogether.

How important are individual static ips to you?
