Do You Need Dedicated IP address for Your Website?
“Do I need a Dedicated IP address for my website?”
A dedicated IP address allows you to make your website secure with an SSL certificate, and it assures that the only Website(s) found at that IP address will be yours, which can help with SEO (Search Engine Optimization). Most Independent credit card companies require a dedicated IP address in order for you to use there services.
So to answer the question for you…
1. Will your Website accept Credit Cards? If yes, then you more than likely need one.
2. Does your Website require an SSL certificate? If yes, then you need one, as Shared certificates are not secure enough to protect your information.
3. Are you going to be collecting private information from your customers outside of the normal name/email forms? If yes, then its advisable that you get an SSL certificate, and thus need a dedicated IP address.
Hope that helps, post any questions you may have.
