static IP
Unchanging network identifier
A static IP is an internet address that remains constant, assigned permanently to a device or server rather than changing each time it connects.
Websites, email servers, and businesses that need reliable remote access typically require static IPs: We set up a static IP so employees could connect to the office network from home.
Contrast with dynamic IP, which is reassigned periodically by the network.
