A dedicated IP address means that you shall have a distinctive numeric identifier on the Internet and that it will not be shared with other people's websites or apps as it happens with a shared web hosting account. There are lots of uses for a dedicated IP - for example, when an SSL certificate is required if you have a web-based store and you need to accept online payments or in the event that you have a login form and you would like the information which users submit to be encrypted. A dedicated IP address can also be used for other programs, such as a VoIP server, for example. Furthermore, it shall provide more credibility and protection to your Internet sites, since a network flood to a shared IP will not have any effect on your dedicated IP. In the event that you host your websites with our company and you have your own server, you shall be able to get one or several dedicated IP addresses with only a couple of mouse clicks and to use them in case you cannot use the IP provided with the web server.
