What is the difference between dedicated IP and shared IP? Which one is better for independent sites?

Exclusive IP means that this IP is pure and only used by you; shared IP means that it is shared with other websites and it does not belong to you alone. Using a shared IP does not mean it is bad, but it may be affected by the behavior of others.

What is the difference between a dedicated IP and a shared IP? Which one is better for an independent website?

1. Safety protection

In terms of security, shared IPs are said to have certain risks. Because when one website is attacked, all other sites with the same IP will be affected, and dedicated IPs eliminate this risk.

Compared with dedicated IP, shared IP has certain disadvantages, but this is not the norm. Many good hosts now have account isolation systems that encapsulate each account on the server to prevent them from being implicated by each other.

2. Google SEO

Many people think that shared IP has no advantage in SEO. If a website under it is punished by Google, it will directly affect other websites with the same IP. Only independent IP can help websites get better SEO rankings. To put it bluntly, even if a shared IP is lying down, it will be hit. If you want to avoid such a situation, please do not buy a private hosting server. Even if you buy an independent IP of a private hosting, it will be accidentally hit due to the problem of IP segment. So the problem lies with the host, and has nothing to do with shared IP and independent IP.

3. Website Speed

It is said that independent IP can increase the speed of website opening. Is it true?

In fact, the website speed mainly depends on what host server you use and the geographical location of the computer room, and has nothing to do with dedicated IP or shared IP.

Take the computer room as an example. If you are engaged in foreign trade cross-border e-commerce and face foreign customer groups, you should not use domestic servers in the computer room, otherwise the website will open very slowly. In addition, using cache plug-ins and CDN acceleration services can also increase the speed of the website.

4. Email

In terms of email, many people develop clients and send spam emails to blacklists, thinking that it is because of the email sharing IP that they are banned or blacklisted by Google. In fact, independent IPs can also go to spam mailboxes. If they are not preheated, they may become useless in a few days. If you want to send a large number of emails in a short period of time, it is best to use a third-party SMTP email service provider.

As for shared IP and dedicated IP, they have little to do with emails going into spam folders. If you send too many emails, they will be blacklisted.

5. Cross-border e-commerce

It is best to use an independent IP when building a cross-border e-commerce independent website, because most platforms require anti-association. The exclusive IP is integrated into the fingerprint browser to ensure that the account will not be affected by other accounts and IPs, and is always safe and stable. I use Kookeey's pure exclusive proxy to integrate into the fingerprint browser to operate my multiple cross-border e-commerce accounts. This method is safe, stable, cost-effective and easy to operate.
