Imation,
Sorry it took me so long to answer your questions here. Had to deal with all of these people with problems that shouldn't even be happening. Crazy database.
1. All shared hosting accounts get a shared IP. You don't really need a static IP unless you want to run something secure on your site, such as a shopping cart system or any credit card processing interface. A static (dedicated IP) is $40 a year.
2. We currently have over 20 servers at Surpass and host over 7,000 domains, as stated on our company info page. We are putting up an info page soon with stats for all of them.
We put about 250 accounts on each server and then take away some sites if they are busy, and move to them to a semi-dedicated server. We don't let any site effect the overall performance of the server. Of course not. If we did, we would lose clients.
3. You can register your domain at any company that you would like. Then you just change the DNS records. You might want to take a peek in the Announcements forum on the post I just made that has the welcome email that we send out, so you can understand what I mean.
