A Static IP address is where a computer uses the same address every time a user logs on to a network, such as the Internet. With a static IP address, a computer's identity can be easily identified by others, and users can easily connect with it. That way, for example, a website, email server, or other type of server connection can be hosted.

Normally, everytime you log on the internet you area assigned a different Dynamic IP based on what is available. If you are hosting a website on your computer, then you have to have a fixed or static IP so that it can be named and found by the search systems. Costs more.

it means you only have one IP address, the static address means that your IP doesnt change like it would if you were using dial up
