Hello,

is anyone here that can explain me what the major difference as customer is between having a dedicated and a shared IP?
As far as I can see IPs are limited due to their nature and I tend to think one should cluster them (using shared IPs) as much as possible so we won't run out of IPs easily.

There are a lot of info if you search the forum. But in short, you'll only need a dedicated IP address if you need to use SSL or anonymous FTP.

Well FTP.... FileUpload can also be done by PHP.
So the only really issue would be SSL, right?

This should go in the "been asked a million times" forum. :)
