Can the people I talk to get my IP address?

BitWise IM - FAQ
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.

Web Hosting Universe -hosting FAQ host frequently asked ques...
Maybe. There are some advantages to having a unique IP for your site. When you change servers, you can point your users to a new IP, so they don't have to wait for the domain name change to propagate. With a static IP, it can also be simpler to upload and test your site before transferring the domain name to a new server. Setting up SSL is also much simpler. You may also not want to share your IP with some sites that could lead to your site being banned by search engines or spam lists.

Additionally, as of v1.0.3, a valid hostname can also be placed in the allowed-hosts file.
