With a unique address (Dedicated IP), You can upload content and preview Your website with no problems! All You need to do is type your Dedicated IP address into Your browser and Your site will come up.
2) SSL Certificates – SSL certificates require a Dedicated IP address. A website that requests personal or payment information should have SSL protection, but SSLs require a static IP (Dedicated IP) to work. With a Dedicated IP, You are able to set up an SSL that redirects Your visitors through an encrypted hosting connection.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF A DEDICATED HOSTING IP?
Dedicated Hosting IP addresses are very exclusive and secure, while shared IP addresses are not. Most domain names share their IP addresses with hundreds of domain names. Therefore, if one domain name causes issues, all of the domain names can be impacted.
Some search engines or ISPs will penalize an IP address if one of its domain names sends spam E-Mail. With a Dedicated Hosting IP, You can avoid the disadvantages that come with sharing Your IP address with Other users.
Online experts believe that a static IP or Dedicated Hosting IP address can boost search engine ranking results. Search engines like unique addresses because Your domain name isn’t associated with or connected to other domain names.
Do I need more than one dedicated IP address for my VPS?
1) Multiple SSL certificates. Your server supports Server Name Indication (SNI), which means You don’t need one , Dedicated Hosting IP address for each SSL certificate on the server.
2) Search Engine Optimization (SEO). A single IP address doesn’t affect the SEO for any of the websites on your server. Just make sure each site has its own directory on the server.
3) Site previews. Your Customers can preview their websites using the same IP address as long as You’ve configured cPanel or Plesk properly.
HOW DO I ADD A DEDICATED HOSTING IP TO MY SHARED HOSTING ACCOUNT?
To add a Dedicated Hosting IP to Your Hosting Account, simply log in to Your account and click on Web Hosting, and then click the Options button next to the account you want to work with. From the Customize tab You can select to purchase a new Dedicated Hosting IP or apply a Dedicated Hosting IP credit that You already have.
After You add the Dedicated Hosting IP, it can take 24 – 48 hours before it’s active on Your hosting account.
SHARED IPs VS. DEDICATED HOSTING IPs
Most data centers and website technology providers offer variations on two different types of Hosting – Shared Hosting and Dedicated Hosting IP. With Shared Hosting, all of a server’s resources are pooled together to host many sites without regard for who owns the site, how much traffic a site receives, etc. With Dedicated Hosting IP, all of a server’s resources are still applied to a specific set of sites and applications, but the way those resources are allocated is at the discretion of the Person renting the server space – not the Hosting provider.
So, in the case of Shared Hosting, there are often hundreds, sometimes thousands of sites that all reside on the same server – therefore, they all have the same IP address. In the case of Dedicated Hosting IP, sites may share the same Hosting provider, but do not all have the same IP Address.
Shared IPs and Dedicated IPs operate in the same way. While each Hosting Account has the same IP in a Shared Hosting Scenario, a Dedicated Hosting IP is an exclusive address that is unique to Your Hosted Server. While a Dedicated Hosting IP Address is exclusively Yours, You might choose to serve different sites from that IP Address. Ultimately, You are in control of Who’s using it.
This normally isn’t a problem in any way, whether You’re considering Hosting or Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Factors. But in some cases, a Dedicated Hosting IP can be helpful, and in Others, it’s necessary.
