Hosting

2. Do you offer unique IP Addresses?

An IP Address is the Internet Address your website receives while it is being hosted on the Internet.  If your site doesn’t have a unique IP Address it is probably sharing an address with the other websites also being hosted on that server (which can be hundreds).  If any of those websites contain objectionable content or send SPAM or flood Search Engines, your website can be blocked along with all the other websites on that box.  To insure your website does not get blocked, it must have its own Unique IP Address.  Typically lower cost plans do not offer this option and you should not host unless you have a unique IP Address.
