Unique IP

  • tribunsky · Member ·

    Hello.

    1. Can I buy an unique IP for my web site which now is siting on WordPress.com?

    2. If I transfer my site from WordPress.com to WordPress.org, will it be siting only on one IP?
    Or, like now on wordpress.com, my site will have also six IPs?

    Thank you.
    Victor.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    The answer is no to the first question. There is no permanent static IP address for any WordPress.com hosted blog. All IPs are dynamic ie. ever changing. Therefore WordPress.com does not provide static IP addresses. However, I’ll tag this thread for a Staff response. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

    Thank you very much, Timethief.

    And I already need not an answer to my second question.

    You’re welcome.

    If you move to a WordPress.ORG software installed blog on another host – you may or may not have a static IP. Some hosts allow you to have a static IP address others do not. You would need to ask your potential host if they offer a static IP address option.

    My old host had static IP address for some things (my email is still with them and on a static IP address)

    OK. Thank you very much.
    It is pity I cannot buy a static IP here, on WordPress.com. I need one IP, but I don’t want to leave WordPress.com.

    There is another thread by a German(?) blogger who’s asking to find her blog’s IP address: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/ip-adress-27?replies=3

    I’ve already answered her in German about what to do – hopefully no further action needed.

    FYI, the Germans, Austrians and Swiss have a situation that some of their states/provinces require certain (professional) people or entities to state their IP addresses in their “Impressum” (kind of a legal About page).

    The workaround (as I’ve suggested on the other thread) is simply to state in the Impressum, “IP address dynamically assigned by WordPress.com.” (Because that is the legal truth.)

    Hopefully this should help the moderators and volunteers answer future questions.

    Thank you for the answer, but my situation is different.

    When some “organization” wants to block access to some site on WordPress.com, it block not its URL, but its IP. However, if I share this IP with that site, my site blocks too.

    That’s why I want the own IP, and I am ready to pay for it.

    That’s not possible.
