Facebook Applications - GoDaddy Dynamic versus Static IP’s

Posted on January 16, 2008

We attempted to run a Facebook Application on a dynamic server through GoDaddy. Bad call. There was a delay when the application was updated and, more often than not, failed to update user changes to the app. In an attempt to economize, life was made more difficult. In the end, we switched from a GoDaddy dynamic IP back to a static IP. To sum up, if you run an application that requires external access (like Facebook), use a static IP.

    Do you mean a dynamic IP (as in temporary, i.e. DHCP) or a shared IP (as in multiple web sites per IP)?
