Yes, it's normal. ISPs, particularly AOL and mobile providers, can route traffic through different proxies which will change the IP address of a user as they surf the web. Users using a proxy server can also experience this. This is why depending on a static IP address from a user during a session is not recommended for any kind of identification system on a ...

asterisk is displayed.

In the context of web hosting, a shared IP is an IP address shared by multiple websites usually on the same shared server but could also be across different servers, whereas a dedicated IP gives your website a distinct IP from others. If you don't know whether you need a dedicated IP or not, then you most-likely don't need one.
The primary reason one uses a ...

Yes, you need a dedicated IP address for your SSL certificate. The following article explains exactly why:
SSL certificates on Sites with Host Headers
The key paragraph is:
It's a chicken and egg problem: The
host name is encrypted in the SSL blob
that the client sends. Because the
host name is part of the binding IIS
needs the host name to ...

As long as the domain and content remains the same, changing IP addresses should have not affect on SEO. Moving from Canadian to US IP's wont affect your SEO.
The only potential gotcha could be if somehow the IP address has been backlisted due to spam or other misuse, although this is more commonly, but not exclusively, an issue with Email than Web Domains. ...

The most common methods are Proxies and VPN (Virtual Private Network) This are available as free or paid, paid services tend to be fast and not very noticeable your using a server to connect to a desired site.

A whois record should display your registration info unless you chose to use private registration. And a whois search on an IP will show who the ip block is registered to, and is almost always your ISP.
If you want to have your own company info show up in an IP lookup, then you need to obtain a provider-independent address space. This can be done through a ...

From here
It's Apache polling its child
processes to verify they're responding
correctly.
31-2 - 0/0/44 . 0.00 41 0 0.0 0.00
0.92 ::1 mxx1.xx.com OPTIONS * HTTP/1.0
The second field, " - ", shows that
this isn't an active connection.. It's
the last connection that took place
for this particular thread/process.

As paulmorriss mentioned in the comments, most major web servers do this automatically anyways, with their server logs. These logs contain UA strings, IP addresses, and much more.
I don't know of any law on the books that would explicitly forbid this, but I would say that you should probably include in the Terms of Service the fact that you collect this ...

I want to change language dynamically by using PHP code,this done
based on the requesting IP address.
Please avoid automatic language detection based upon origin IP or, if you insist upon using this technique, make it easy for users to select a different language - you will inevitably find that some of your users' IP addresses do not accurately ...

Try with the netmask instead of the CIDR notation:
<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
allow from 37.18.184.0/255.255.252.0
...
allow from 37.77.172.0/255.255.252.0
deny from all
</Limit>
Alternatively do it like this:
<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
allow from 37.18.184.
allow from 37.18.185.
allow from 37.18.186.
allow from 37.18.187.

Best way is use some existing of Apache-GeoIP tools (or modules)
mod-geoip (example for Debian)
MaxMind GeoLite Country (usage - Getting Visitor's Country with PHP using Geo IP)

In 000-default (usually in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default)
You can use the VirtualHost tag to separate different sites.
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/example1
ServerName www1.example.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot /var/www/example2
ServerName www2.example.com

Providing initial explanation re difference between server-side stats and online stats for the benefit of other users:
Apache access log analyses all the traffic to your server.
StatCounter tracks all the visits to your site.
Your server gets a lot more traffic than your site, because server traffic includes all the visits from robots, spambots, crawlers ...

For your website you would not need a dedicated IP unless you want to use SSL.
But since most web hosters put your webiste on the same IP of your mails, a dedicated IP could make a huge benefit for your outgoing mails. With a shared IP you might be sharing the same server with spammers (or people sending out too many emails), some external internet ...

Looking at the wikipedia page on IP Addresses:
The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) manages the IP address
space allocations globally and delegates five regional Internet
registries (RIRs) to allocate IP address blocks to local Internet
registries (Internet service providers) and other entities.
I'm no expert, but what I think that ...

Downtime does not affect your rankings. Pagerank is based only on incoming links. However, excessive downtime may get your site temporarily removed from Google altogether until it comes back up again.

"If your website is down for a relatively small amount of time -- you ...

One of the best options I have found for doing this is MaxMind city GeoIP data. They have an API and a free lite version you can get started with as well.

From this question:
You could do several things including:
Use a CAPATCHA like reCAPTCHA
Use a field that requires the user
to answer a question like what is 5 +

auto-populating fields based on field
names. So that field will be either
incorrect or missing in ...

You're going about this wrong. First off, there's no practical way of doing what you want. Secondly, Google doesn't really care about what country you're hosted in. What they care about is which country your website is targeted at. If your site is aimed at Americans, then they might rank you higher in an SERP on Google.com than a site aimed at Brits with the ...

is this a feasible/good system for
spam prevention?
No, for a variety of reasons - chiefly:
IP address assignments change over time. Do you want to delete posts from 2011 in the year 2015 because a spammer was assigned an IP which had seen use prior?
Malicious flagging happens. Do you want a few malicious posts to interfere with comments from one of ...

Is it possible to buy IP address from 3rd parties or anyone other than your host ?
No - upstream hosts will not route to an IP address which does not belong to your host's IP address assignment.
So is it possible to get dedicated IPs from another hosting service or
host keeping the files hosted on different server ?
Sure, but in that case ...

This means that every page on my website is actually accessible from another domain.
Any owner of domain can add in managed domain IN A|IN CNAME record, which will point to any IP in the Net, but if you're using name-based virtual hosts, then your site will likely¹ only be accessible via the hostname specified in the ServerName and ServerAlias ...

If they're really pointing their DNS records to your IP address (and your webserver is configured so that this actually shows your site's content on their domain; see Lazy Badger's answer), then you can stop this sort of "DNS hotlinking" with a simple mod_rewrite rule:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} otherdomain\.st$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ - [F]
This will return a ...

Contact your webhost. Unless you've set up your own server and are using that, you have to ask your webhost to redirect the IP for you.
In which, as @Su' said, you'll have to get your own dedicated IP (Which is probably going to cost more). IPs and URLs aren't synonymous. They are two different entities that are tied together using a server configuration ...

There is a free version of a GeoIP database available from Software77. In their FAQ page they say:
We cannot add or remove IPs from the database. The process we use is automated and the IPs in the database are as as we get them from the various registries around the world. If a registry does not list an IP the only way to get it in our database is for ...

After reading Christofian's answer, I did some research and found out that the five Regional Internet Registry members (APNIC, AFRINIC, ARIN, RIPE, and LACNIC) each maintain a copy of the allocated IP address ranges and the associated countries on their public FTP servers. This information is updated daily and mirrored between the five servers.
For example, ...

I would like to see a log file
Your server access logs contain the information, you just need to extract it.
The access logs (text file) contain a record of every request made to your server. Included in the access log is the timestamp, the URL of the file requested, the IP address that requested the file and the status code.
To sum up all the times a ...
