Dear Certificate Customer,
With shared hosting, many websites use the same IP address. You might require your own IP address if you want to access your website by both the IP address and the domain name. This is especially useful during periods of domain name propagation when you can't access your site by using the domain name.
Additionally, some search engine optimization experts speculate that dedicated IP addresses might improve search engine rankings.
Don't purchase a dedicated IP address if you are installing an SSL certificate. We automatically issue a dedicated IP address when an SSL certificate is installed on our shared hosting servers.
NOTE: Dedicated IP addresses are not available on free hosting accounts.
To Add a Dedicated IP to Your Shared Hosting Account:
Click Web Hosting.
Click Options, and then click Customize tab.
From the Server IP menu, select Dedicated.
If you already purchased a dedicated IP address credit, click Apply Dedicated IP Credit.
If you need a dedicated IP address credit, click Checkout, and then complete your purchase.
NOTE: Dedicated IPs may take 24-72 hours to become active on your hosting account.
To remove a dedicated IP address use the above steps, but select Remove Dedicated IP from the Server IP menu.
Let us know if we can be of further service.
Thanks,
Customer Service |
