Web Hosting 101: Getting a Dedicated Hosting IP Address
Posted on 28. Apr, 2011 by admin in Internet
There are several advantages to having a dedicated IP address or a static IP address for your website. One of the most important would be that the email accounts registered on your domain would most likely not be labeled as spam email accounts by email providers. This is because most illegitimate mass-emailers often make use of dynamic IP addresses. Here is a guide on how you can obtain a dedicated hosting IP address. 1. If you do not have a web host yet, look for a reputable web host and visit their website. Browse through the services that they are offering and choose the one which best suits your needs and budget. However, be sure that the one you would be choosing comes with the option of having a dedicated IP address. 2. You can then go through the standard steps which are needed to be taken when starting a new website. 3. Make sure to read the extra features and add-ons that the web hosting company offers you as you go through the process of purchasing your package. You can then check the option for getting a dedicated or static IP address. If the package you are getting already includes it as a feature of the basic package, then you are good to go. If it is not yet included, adding the option of having a dedicated IP address would usually cost a couple of dollars.
