i'd liek to emphasize what someone wrote previusly about lack of IP
addresses. the situation in this area is actually pressing. the IANA (i
think that's the name of the organization allocating IP address blocks) is
applying more strict procedures for allocating IP address blocks, due to
the shrinking number of these addresses, and the lack of any idea of when
IP v6 will be eomployed across the whole internet, and thus solve the
problem of IP address scarceness completely. if they started giving ou
fixed IP addresses for a very low price, many people will want them, and
they'll probably run out quickly. you may always argue about the specific
price, thought. its hard to calculate the 'cost' of an IP address, and
even if it looks like "what the fuck, this is just a number, and takes 2
minutes to set up" - it is getting rare, and rare things tend to cost more
