Dedicated IP Address
Learn what a dedicated IP address is actually and the reason why your web site will need one in due course.
A dedicated IP address is a unique numeric identifier on the world wide web that's given to a device or a website. Shared website hosting servers usually have numerous sites under a single IP, while dedicated ones use their own IPs that aren't shared with anyone else. Even when you use a common shared account, however, you're able to buy a dedicated IP address that will be used only by your websites - one or a few. Because this can contribute to the speed of asite, it is more likely that the site will get superior search engine result rankings. Certainly, this isn't the only factor, but it is likely to help you get more site visitors and potential customers. The dedicated IP is also needed if you intend to encode the information exchanged between the site and its visitors through an SSL certificate.
