Question by questioner: Does changing webhost affect SSL and/or Dedicated IP Address?
So, I host my SSL, IP Address and website at a single entity. Now, I’d like to move my webhosting account to a new host, however, I’d like to leave my IP Address and SSL with my exisitng host. Domain is hosted elsewhere.

Thanks for your response

SSL certificate moves with server name https://www.example.com, regardless of hosting or ip address

IPv4 address stays with upstream provider, usually.

Forward DNS doesn’t matter. The only way you can get a reverse lookup is from your upstream provider (who provides the IP address and connectivity)

Question by Nico C: How can I stop my IP from changing?
Every time I turn off my BT HOME HUB, my IP Address changes when I turn it back on. I host a server by my IP and its really annoying having to change it in the server all the time.

You can’t do it yourself because your service provider gives you a dynamic ip everytime you connect to the internet. However, you can try applying for a static-ip address to your service provider.
