Dedicated IP for a free site?

bret · 2004-08-26, 07:40 PM

using a unique ip for a free site is a TOTAL and complete waste of resources. the amount of SE traffic you will get from a typical free site does not even warrant a unique domain, although some may argue that point.

and surfin, way not to answer his question... he wasnt asking about dedicated servers, infact a dedicated server has nothing to do with his question at all.

even if every network was running solely on IPv6 i still do not see a reason to use a unique ip for a freesite, it just too much of a wasted resource.

one ip per domain, that might be justifiable, but i dont think it is completely necessary.
