This is also called Virtual Hosting (Shared IP) and IP Based Hosting (Dedicated IP). - Shared IP hosting - one IP address is assigned to several domains and access to a domain is available only by its domain name;
- Dedicated IP hosting - one IP address is assigned to one domain. To access a domain you can use either its IP address or its domain name.
Shared IP | - can be used for virtually unlimited number of virtual hosts;
- easy to configure and use;
- requires no additional hardware of software;
- can be used for free.
| Dedicated IP | - supports Virtual FTP
- supports SSL
| Switching from Dedicated IP to Shared IP will delete your virtual FTP and SSL services. To change the type of IP, do the following: - Click the Domains icon to go to your domain settings page. Select the domain if you have more than one.
- If you have several domains, choose the one to enable virtual FTP for.
- Click Change to Shared IP in the IP Address field:
 - If prompted, confirm the change by clicking "Yes, I agree with the above".
IMPORTANT: After you switch between shared and dedicated IPs, it will take several hours before the domain becomes available at the new IP address. You can use an IP-only server. To create it, choose "no domain" option during signup. Following the signup, you should change type of IP to Dedicated.
