IP address or network address is a numeric form of address that identifies every machine on the Internet. Therefore, every machine has a unique IP address. For example, the IP address of the abc company website could be 192.228.180.200. A domain name is a textual form of address that is easier for humans to remember than the string of numbers that makes up an IP address. For example, the domain name of that same abc company could be http://www.abc.com.my.

Currently there is only one dynamic IP address variable available within a domain name. This variables can be used to update as many hosts within the domain you like. However, if you have two computers and would like some hosts to point to one computer, and the remaining hosts to point to the second computer, you will need to create a free hostname (you.darktech.org, etc) and use CNAME records to alias it. Our support team will be more than happy to assist in this type of configuration. See similar questions...

Restriction by IP address is secure against casual nosiness but not against a determined hacker. There are several ways around IP address restrictions. With the proper equipment and software, a hacker can "spoof" his IP address, making it seem as if he's connecting from a location different from his real one. Nor is there any guarantee that the person contacting your server from an authorized host is in fact the person you think he is. See similar questions...

Yes, but this is the very nature of direct connections. BitWise bypasses the server, so your PC must know where to send the messages (i.e. what computer on the Internet). Without sharing your IP address, nobody could connect to you, and BitWise wouldn't be very useful at all. You can't have it both ways: you can't have direct connects and not reveal your IP address. Does revealing your IP address constitute an insecurity? We do not believe so. See similar questions...
