General Frequently Asked Questions

What is coworking?

Coworking is a modern approach to work that involves a shared workspace, often an office, where individuals who are self-employed or working for different companies come together to work. This concept promotes collaboration, networking, and the sharing of ideas among diverse groups of professionals.

San Mateo coworking, in particular, has been gaining popularity due to the city’s vibrant entrepreneurial scene and the rising demand for flexible workspaces. At the heart of San Mateo, coworking spaces like Innocospace offer a supportive environment for both individuals and teams to thrive.

Coworking in San Mateo provides an alternative to traditional office spaces, offering flexibility and a wide range of amenities. These can include high-speed Wi-Fi, ergonomic furniture, meeting rooms, and communal areas where members can relax and socialize.

One of the key advantages of San Mateo coworking is the opportunity to network with other professionals and potentially collaborate on projects. This is particularly beneficial for freelancers, startups, and small businesses looking to expand their reach and influence.

In essence, coworking is more than just a place to work; it’s a community. And within the dynamic city of San Mateo, coworking has become a hub for innovation, productivity, and collaborative growth.

Can I have a static public IP address for my private office?

Yes you can get a static public IP address.  There is a cost of $35 per month per public IP address.  We do have a limit on a total number of public IP addresses. so please request early if you need a public IP address.  We can also help you set up a proxy where you can host multiple servers behind single public IP address.

What are the advantages of having a static public IP address?

Here are some advantages of having a static IP address:

  • Stability– In case of applications such as authenticated services on web servers and file downloads the connection should be stable. In static IP a small interruption in the connection usually does not terminate the packet exchange with the service.
  • Hosting– Since there is no change of IP address, this is suitable for applications which use Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP), gaming applications, and Virtual Private Network(VPN).
  • Preferred address for servers– Static IP addresses is ideal if your computer acts as a server. The reason is it gives your file server relatively faster file uploads and downloads.
  • Convenient remote access– When you remotely connect to a computer you need not worry about the changes in the IP address during the connected session. Also when you connect to your computer through applications such as remote desktop, you need not be bothered about losing the IP address.
  • Reduced downtime– The IP never resets. In other words, your computer need not send any request for renewal. This makes it an ideal choice for seamless connectivity.

How do I set up my private network with static IP in my private office?

Our private office members have the option to set up their own private IP network away from the general coworking members.  Private office members have access to wired LAN network in their office.  A private office can get an Internet static public IP for their network if needed.  Otherwise, each office will get a DHCP internal IP address.  There is a charge of $35 per month for each public IP address.  Please note there is a limit on the number of private IP addresses we have.

If you need help setting up your router, we can help you set it up with a one-time setup fee depending on the complexity.  Please contact us if you need help with the router set up for your private office.
