Dedicated IP Address
Discover why you will need a Dedicated IP Address for your website. Find out more about Dedicated IPs in general.
When you host a website on a server, it employs the server's shared IP - a special number that's used to distinguish any kind of device connected to the World Wide Web. The domain name that you use for the website is for quick access and convenience of the site visitors, but on a more basic level, their Internet browser connects to the IP of the server. As there are many more websites than IP addresses, shared web hosting servers use the very same IP for multiple websites even if they belong to several users. While this does not affect the site performance directly, having a dedicated IP can slightly boost the loading speed of a website, providing it better positions in search engine results. Such an IP is necessary for the installation of an SSL certificate as well, so if you would like to protect the payment or login info that your website visitors enter, you should have an IP in addition to the SSL.
