If you host a website on a server, it makes use of the server's shared IP - a special number which is used to distinguish any kind of device connected to the Web. The website name that you use for the website is for quick access and convenience of the site visitors, but on a more basic level, their web browser connects to the IP address of the server. Since there're far more websites than IP addresses, shared web hosting servers use the same IP for many different websites even if they are owned by several users. While this does not affect the website performance directly, having a dedicated IP may slightly enhance the loading speed of a certain website, granting it better positions in search engine results. Such an IP is needed for the installation of an SSL certificate too, so if you would like to secure the payment or login information that your site visitors type in, you will need an IP in addition to the SSL.

If you wish to have an IP for an SSL certificate, we have an SSL order instrument through which you will be able to select everything to be set up automatically.
