Can a Dedicated IP be purchased with Shared Hosting?

Yes, you can order a Dedicated IP if you have eukhost’s Shared Hosting or Reseller Hosting with us if necessary. While we provide 2 IPs with VPS Hosting and Dedicated Server Hosting; with shared hosting, you share the server IP. In most cases, this is sufficient; but if you are installing and using an SSL certificate for use on your website, you’ll need to buy a Dedicated IP alongside an SSL certificate.

What is a Dedicated IP?

When you purchase shared web hosting, your account shares the Dedicated IP of the server on which your account is hosted. However, if you require a Dedicated IP for a specific reason – whether for SEO purposes or because you need to use an SSL certificate; for example in the case you run an e-commerce store – you’ll need to buy a Dedicated IP to buy and use an SSL certificate.

How much do Dedicated IPs cost?
