 * Under General Settings – Server IP: Leave this blank unless you are sure that
   you have a static IP for your website. Once you put an IP address, you can not
   remove it. Most small businesses likely have dynamic IP address, which means 
   the IP address changes all the time. I checked my public IP address and typed
   in the IP address, and then realized my website is not on static IP. I spent 
   many hours trying to remove the IP address but couldn’t. So, I ended up uninstalling
   LiteSpeed.
 * I spent past week tweaking various settings to improve my website loading speed.
   But some settings I setup blocked safari to load my website. I initially thought
   my website was hacked. After a few days of investigating and trying various malware
   plugins, I realized it’s was some setting I went on too aggressively in the LiteSpeed.
   So, I spent many more hours trying to reverse the setting responsible for the
   breakage, and during this tweaking process I typed in the Sever IP address in
   the general setting. I even tried uninstalling for a day and reinstall it, even
   then whatever the IP address that was there automatically showed up. In the end,
   I had to uninstall it because I could not delete the incorrect IP address. Litespeed
   should provide option to reinstall fresh.

 * Hi,
 * As I have replied in your ticket , your site is not dynamic IP , and most of 
   websites are not dynamic IP , you were seeing it showing different IP because
   you are using your provider’s CDN , CDN service would resolve to different IPs
   based on various factors
 * and the Server IP field will be able to keep empty in next release.
