What's the difference between a static IP address and a dynamic IP address? Which do you need for a hosted business site?

A static IP address stays the same, whereas a dynamic IP address can change over time...

IP address - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address#IP_address_assignment)

All web sites have a static IP address - but you have to decide if you want an IP address that is shared (less expensive) or dedicated (more expensive). If you want a private SSL, you will need a dedicated IP address.
