For those of you who have been affected by a shortage of IP addresses in your organisation, you will be happy to know ICANN has announced a whole bunch more IP addresses. I remember only a few years ago not being able to hook up another computer to the net due to a lack of IP addresses within the organisation I was working for. It seemed ridiculous, but hopefully it will be a thing of the past with an increased number of IP addresses available.

Do any of you know if this will affect the cost of having your own IP address on a shared hosting account?
