What is the difference between name-based and IP based hosting?

š
Name-based hosting is when many virtual sites share a single IP address, with site traffic directed by the web server examining 'host headers'. IP based hosting accounts come with a unique IP address that is not shared with anyone else.

Some of the features that require IP based hosting are:

  • Using your own domain name for SSL (secure server pages).
  • Anonymous FTP (file sharing) for your visitors is not possible under name-based hosting.
  • Running scripts that require a unique IP.

Please contact us if you need IP based hosting.
