An IP  (internet protocol) address is an unique number like 234.123.66.7 that identifies the unique web server/a computer on the internet, where your website can be saved. In shared web hosting plans, you share the same IP address with some other web sites on your server. By using a Dedicated IP address, you can enable your site for e-commerce and other advanced capabilities, and minimize the risk of being impacted by other sites on your shared server.

Important Reasons to get a Dedicated IP:

* By having a Dedicated IP you can enable SSL on your web site – SSL (Secure Socket Layer) Certificates are crucial if you have a business oriented website, especially if you want to accept secure online transactions like credit card payments or sending your  and your client,s personal information through your site.
* Dedicated IP will give ability to run more software on yours server – Certain programs require a dedicated IP address before they can be configure, setup and used. With a dedicated IP you will have more options on the type of programe you can run.
*It gives ability to open non-standard ports – Having a dedicated IP will allow your hosting provider to grant you access to additional ports you may need to run special services on that, by default they are blocked for shared IPs.
* So you will not be indirectly impacted by the actions of others – On a shared web hosting, if someone else sharing your same IP happens to get blocked by IP or censored, some countries or ISPs (Internet service providers) sometimes do. Their IP (and yours) could get blocked or blacklisted, which will cause problems for your web site or your search engine rankings.
* Your website may perform better in the search engines – Although it is difficult to prove, many people believe that web sites with a dedicated IP address  get ranked better in the search engine results than those utilizing shared IP addresses.
* You can directly acess your web site by typing your dedicated IP address – This is handy for situations where you want to access your site, when your domain name is inaccessible, such as during domain name propagation periods.

How much a Dedicated IP cost?

It will cost about  $2.5 per month. you can buy from almost any hosting provider like, BlueHost , HostMonster and Just Host
