Hello,

Most shared hosting users have little need for a dedicated IP address. However, a dedicated IP address does provide certain advantages.

Generally speaking, a dedicated IP allows you to:

-View your website via its IP address.
-Access your accounts by FTP or the Web when the domain name is otherwise inaccessible, such as during domain name propagation periods.
-Set up SSL protection on your website.

Take your time to review.
Have a nice day.

Grants access to your website anytime you need

Sometimes it is quite necessary to check how website is going to look before pointing domain name to the server and launching your website on the web. Dedicated IP address will provide with ability to access server directly without changing DNS settings for the domain name.
