What is a Dedicated IP Address?
An IP address is a number like 234.123.66.7 that identifies the unique server where your website can be found. In shared hosting, you share the same IP address as other web sites on your server. By upgrading to a Dedicated IP address, you can enable your site for e-commerce and other advanced capabilities, and minimize the risk of being impacted by other sites on your shared server.
Top Reasons to get a Dedicated IP:
- So you can enable SSL on your web site - SSL Certificates are crucial if you have a business oriented website, especially if you want to accept secure transactions like credit card payments or sending personal information through your site. Secure SSL Certificates require your site to have a Dedicated IP in order to work.
- Ability to run more software on your server - Certain programs require a dedicated IP address before they can be setup and used. With a dedicated IP you will have more options on the type of scripts you can run.
- Ability to open non-standard ports - Purchasing a dedicated IP will allow us to grant you access to additional ports you may need to run special services on that are blocked for shared IPs.
- So you won't be negatively impacted by the actions of others - On a shared IP, if someone else sharing your same IP happens to get blocked by IP or censored, as some countries or ISPs sometimes do. Their IP (and yours) could get banned or blacklisted, causing problems for your web site or search engine rankings.
- Your website may perform better in the search engines - Although difficult to prove, many people believe that sites with a dedicated IP address rank better in the search engine results than those utilizing shared IP addresses.
- You can view your web site by typing its IP address - This is handy for situations where you want to access your site, but your domain name is inaccessible, such as during domain name propagation periods.
