You can get away with a single IP address using virtualhosts (for http

Is this adsl? If so i'd really advise against it. Esp with BT/etc where
there is no SLA. If your lines down, you have at least 24hrs (at times)
before you can complain/etc - and when you're not getting emails...
that
sucks.

Out of interest - why not linux? wwwe.e-smith.org would be great for
everything else (except usb cams..) and does offer you lots of
choice/control.
