Why don't you just give everyone their own IP address?
There are a limited number of IP addresses in the world and that number is rapidly being depleted. Once the IP addresses are gone, they're gone--there just won't be any more for anyone else. There is some work being done to establish a new system but it would take a very long time to implement it and it is not near completion yet. So, in an effort to do our part, we minimize the number of IP addresses we use. More than 95% of our clients use shared IP addresses and do not report that they have any trouble with them at all.
But if you want to have IP address we can give it for you for a small fee simply contact support.
