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's websites or applications as it happens with a shared Internet hosting account. There are lots of uses for a dedicated IP - for example, when an SSL certificate is required in the event that you have an electronic store and you would like to accept online payments or if you have a login form and you would like the info that users submit to be encrypted. A dedicated IP address could also be used for other apps, like a VoIP server, for example. Additionally, it'll supply more credibility and security to your Internet sites, given that a network flood to a shared IP shall not have any effect on your dedicated IP. In case you host your websites with our company and you have your own server, you shall be able to get one or a number of dedicated IP addresses with just a couple of mouse clicks and to use them in case you cannot use the IP provided with the server.
