Dedicated IP address

One of our hosting services is the "Dedicated IP address". You have probably wondered what this service is and what it can do for you. Let us take it step by step.

What an IP address is

An IP address (short for Internet Protocol Address) is a unique network address of a node in a computer network built on the IP protocol. The key word is "unique": no two servers have the same IP (unless they are linked at the system level).

So when you order the "Dedicated IP address" service, you get uniqueness for your site. Put simply, any hosting plan gives you an apartment in a building: an address where other people, your neighbors, live too. A dedicated IP is a private house: an address where only you live.

What a dedicated IP gives you

The main thing the "Dedicated IP address" service gives you is independence from your neighbors. There have been cases where an IP address was blocked because of one unwanted site, and all the other, perfectly legitimate sites on that address were blocked along with it. With a dedicated IP, blocking of someone else's site will not affect yours.
