Name Based Hosting is a method used to allow a server to host multiple domains with only one IP address. You do not need an IP address for each site. In fact, you only need one IP for the entire server. Name Based Hosting does not affect the performance or appearance of the domains hosted, and it’s a good way to economize on IP usage.

Please note, however, that some applications and services require a dedicated IP. These include things like SSL Certificates. You can purchase more IPs (as well as other server add-ons) through our Web site.
