Every business account is assigned a dedicated IP address. A dedicated IP address separates your web site from all other sites on the Internet. Unlike in a shared IP environment, you are not affected by what other Web site owners do. For example, as traffic is routed across the Internet it gets passed from router to router. At this level traffic can only be identified by IP address. If one site owner violates rules, such as using an email address extraction program, a hacking tool, or attempts a Denial of Service (DoS) attack, or in some cases, unintentionally runs an out-of-control search engine or news spider, then that IP address will get blocked at the router level. If other site owners share this same IP number then all sites on the IP address will be blocked until the cause of the problem is corrected, as in an out-of-control spider, or the culprit is found. A dedicated IP eliminates this issue -- your Web site will not be affected by what others do.
A dedicated IP address allows you to have your own private SSL certificate and anonymous FTP capabilities. It also makes it easier to upload and test your site before transferring your domain name to our servers.
