Frequently Asked Questions

Q-What if you come out and can't fix my problem?
A-It's rare, but it does happen. If we arrive and determine the cause of the problem, for instance, a piece of bad hardware, you will still be charged for the hour. After all, we still came out there and did the troubleshooting to find your problem. At that point our technician will recommend your best solution. If it's not a hardware problem but a software problem i.e. virus or spyware that we're unable to fix it then no, you will not be charged.

What is a Static IP address and what is a Dynamic IP address?

You may have heard people talk about Static and Dynamic IP addresses but what are they, really? An IP address is a unique number assigned to your computer either by your ISP (Internet Service Provider) or your router. It’s like a phone number for your PC and it floats around the internet along with a billion other computers IP addresses that are currently on-line. Most home users, and business users for that matter use a Dynamic IP address. This is an address that changes either daily or weekly depending on your ISP and their usually cheaper to have. Static IP’s remain static and never change, this is good for businesses that have users at remote locations that need access to a server. If it wasn’t for a static IP address the number would change constantly and no one would be able to gain access remotely.
