RUNNING BUSINESS OUT OF MY HOME AND ISP CONFLICTS
I RUN A SUCCESSFUL ONLINE BUSINESS OUT OF MY HOME ON A WELL-KNOWN PLATFORM. NOW, MY DAUGHTER WANTS TO OPERATE HER BUSINESS ON THE SAME PLATFORM USING HER HOME, WHICH I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH (IT'S A THREE-STORY HOME THAT I'VE DEEDED HER A FLOOR TO). THE PROBLEM IS THIS: THE ONLINE PLATFORM WILL ONLY ALLOW FOR ONE BUSINESS TO OPERATE USING MY IP ADDRESS. HOW CAN WE MAKE THIS HAPPEN LEGALLY WITHOUT GETTING MY SHOP KICKED OFF THE PLATFORM AND ALLOW FOR HER TO OPERATE HERS WITHOUT INTERFERRING WITH MY OPERATIONS? THE PLATFORM'S RULES STATES ONLY ONE BUSINESS PER IP ADDRESS. ANOTHER QUESTION? CAN I HAVE MORE THAN ONE IP ADDRESS AT MY HOME? CURRENTLY, I'M USING IXFINITY. WILL THE IP ADDRESS BE THE SAME IF I ALSO INSTALLED SATELLITE TV/INTERNET?

Yes, you can have more than one IP address at your home. If you installed sat service and got a new internet provider (Say for your daughter's business) while still having your Xfinity service (for your business), when the new internet service is installed the new service would have a different IP than your IP address and there would no longer be any conflict. Hope this helps.
