Hosting IP
Basic Hosting includes Static IP hosting. This means that additional domain names can be pointed to the same web site without having to purchase an additional web hosting service. Multiple domain names with DNS service can use the same Basic Hosting website.
Example: www.example1.com has Basic Hosting service. The owner of this domain registers example1.biz and would like for people to be able to get to his website using the new name. This costs only $1.95 more, as the new domain can be directed to the Static IP of example1.com.
