Dedicated IP Address
Discover why you'll need a Dedicated IP Address for your web site. Find out more about Dedicated IPs in general.
When you host a site on a server, it employs the server's shared IP address - an exclusive number that's used to detect a device connected to the World Wide Web. The website name which you use for the site is for quick access and convenience of the visitors, but on a more basic level, their web browser connects to the IP of the server. As there are a lot more websites than IP addresses, shared web hosting servers use a single IP for multiple websites even in case they belong to separate users. While this does not affect your site performance directly, having a dedicated IP may slightly improve the loading speed of a website, providing it better rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is essential for the setup of an SSL certificate as well, so when you wish to secure the payment or login information that your site visitors enter, you'll need an IP in addition to the SSL.
