What are some advantages to having a dedicated ip with your domain?

Thanks

this has been discussed numerous times before (hint: search is useful ;) )

basically, you'll only really need it for SSL certs

Argh! I'm tired of seeing this every week! We need a sticky for this. This has been asked 2,315,467 times! Here's 4 of them:

ack sorries, very newbie of me not to search first. hope you accept my apoligies! :bawling:
thanks for the help nonetheless!

It's alright, that wasn't directed at you personally so I hope I didn't come across too strong. It just gets asked so many times that I wish there was some easy way to find the answer to this without having to search, like maybe a sticky or a FAQ.
