Dedicated IP FAQ's

Who needs a dedicated IP address?

Most shared hosting users have little need for a dedicated IP address. However, a dedicated IP address does provide certain advantages.

Generally speaking, a dedicated IP allows you to:

View your Web site via its IP address.
Access your accounts by FTP or the Web when the domain name is otherwise inaccessible, such as during domain name propagation periods.
Ensure faster response during periods of high traffic load.
Set up SSL protection on your Web site.

NOTE: Our SSL certificates include a dedicated hosting IP, so you do not need to purchase a dedicated IP credit separately if you are adding a certificate to your site on your shared hosting account.
