Dedicated IP for a free site?

i guess we do "read English differently" because the only thing he said about dedicated servers was that they only hold 160 or 180 ips (??????) i have no idea who told him that.

let clear a few more things up.

a) a dedicated server has nothing to do with unique ips, other then you can't have a dedicated server without having at least 1 unique ip.

b) a dedicated server can have 1 or virtually limitless ips assigned to it.

c) a shared server can have 1 or virtually limitless ips assigned to it.

d) the ips on a shared server can be exclusive or shared, not only on a per user, but a per domain and even sub-domain basis.

e) a search engine has NO way of telling if a domain is hosted on a dedicated server.

and when did i say anything about you only running free sites. all i said was that his question has nothing to do with dedicated servers. so while your information may be truthful, it is pretty much worthless.
