Well yes, you can contact your ISP and ask them if you can have a STATIC IP?6071842 said:i mean actually set your own up as in having your own personal ip. and only you use it. is this posible i know this sounds stupid but i have no idea how it works. do you know what i mean?![]()
Trizoy said:If your asking if you can go and have 123.456.789.0 and you own it... No.
Ip address are bought and purchased in blocks, by large companies.
Im sure if you paid enough you could get one... but NO, you cant CREATE one.
dragon2309 said:they are generated, sometimes randomly, but its getting to a point now that we are running out of IP's to distrubute, so most blocks sold are in sequence... who sells them.... the ISPs do i suppose

But a new system called IPV6 is coming into place, or in some cases is out to increase availability.
