IP Usage Policy Dated: October 7, 2003

IPs are in short supply and ARIN (American Registry for Internet Numbers) has been pushing hosting companies to conserve IP space and promote name-based hosting. ARIN no longer accepts virtual accounts as sufficient justification for an IP assignment. We have therefore been forced to make it necessary that any dedicated IP assignments to domains must only be made if it is absolutely required. IP assignments are thus only allowed if they are to be used for any of the following:

1) SSL/Shared SSL
2) 3rd Party DNS
3) Anonymous FTP
4) Virtual FTP (A Unix Service)

Customers who require dedicated IPs for other reasons are requested to contact our sales department through the online form on this web site.

Note to run your own shopping cart with SSL you MUST have a dedicated IP address for your carts security. If you are using a PayPal cart then you do not need SSL or a dedicated IP as your PayPal checkout will take your customers to the PayPal secured checkout that you have setup on their system.

If you need and are setting up a dedicated IP address then you will need to click on the              
IP Justification link and login to justify your dedicated IP.
