<html><body><br>The statistics you write of maybe true but there is a small downside to this. Presently, our website can not be seen in China and we are hosted by <a href="http://Godaddy.com">Godaddy.com</a>. The explanation we receive more than three times is "China is blocking a number of IP addresses and there is nothing they can do!" This is the kicker we work with a Federal Organization here in USA who is also hosting at <a href="http://Godaddy.com">Godaddy.com</a> and their website can be seen. The only difference is this ogranization is using a Class A static IP address. <a href="http://Godaddy.com">Godaddy.com</a> can not guarantee if changing to a static IP address this situation will change. One more thing, <a href="http://Godaddy.com">Godaddy.com</a> can be seen in China because their website is hosted on a separate corporate server. <br><br>This is not a gripe but a realty and we are a digium select reseller. There is a consultant in China we work with and our website is translated in Mandarin. If anyone has a proposed solution for this we would greatly appreciate the dialogue.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>
