No, I pay for blocks of IP :
/28 (14 Usable IPs) 0.00 7.50 N/A
/27 (30 Usable IPs) 0.00 16.00 N/A
/26 (62 Usable IPs) 0.00 33.50 N/A
/25 (126 Usable IPs) 0.00 70.00 N/A
/24 (254 Usable IPs) 0.00 100.00 N/A
The N/A indicated that at this time, in that datacenter ( I use one in Montreal, one in Toronto, one in New Jersey ) NJ has no IP's available.
Ok, I can squeeze a few off them, but what this says is that they are keeping whatever IP they have for new boxes ( in general 5 Ip's per box ).
The other business point I want to bring is that I have to pay for a decent block of IP, and keep them unused and unbilled for a certain period of time.
If a client ICQ me now, and wants an extra IP, I need to have it in stock, allocated to the server. So some are costing but nor generating $.
If it was free, none would be left ....
