UNIQUE IP ADDRESS

As we mentioned earlier, the web server has a static IP address that rarely changes.


Although not necessary that your site must have a unique or dedicated IP address!


If so, like most, your virtual hosting, your web site on a computer is stored with many other sites have chosen to.


Because of the relative lack of IP address, your web hosting server can specify only one IP address, it shares site with other sites stored on the server's IP address means.


In practice, this is rarely a problem. Modern browsers send "header information" web server, it includes among other things, requested the site domain name.


Based on header information, the web server in the browser's back right data. (The "name based virtual hosting," we called earlier.)


Some web hosting packages as part of their hosts in offering a unique IP address, even if a web server hosts several sites, they all have different IP addresses.


Tip: to get a dedicated IP address may include additional cost. So you ask yourself whether you really would benefit from one, in many cases should, do not answer this question!


There are a few reasons why you really need a unique IP address running your mail server (an application that we feel, is for Web Hosting is beyond the scope of this Introduction), or one for your domain unique name to secure server certificate.


Having a unique IP address can offer some additional benefits. For example, sometimes it is a rumor that search engines completely ignore the IP address from spammers can be punished.


We do not believe! Rumors that (in addition to many innocent site owners will be punished is spammers are true), but if this is your unique IP address can ensure that the actions of a spammer, you are not punished a single hosted on a computer.


Another advantage is that really old browers (or ambiguous) with the users can visit your site. Works with browsers hosting that supports 1.1 HTTP-based protocol name - but that is just about every browser released since 1996!
