Do I need SSL?

Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is required for e-commerce sites (not PayPal gateways) to ensure that all transactions on your web site are securely encrypted. SSL sites also have the added benefit of higher rankings in Google Searches giving you better SEO regardless of whether you are using e-commerce or not. There are various SSL certificates available, contact us to find out which is best for your needs.

Do I need a unique IP address?

An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a number that identifies your server or website. Most websites share an IP address with several other websites. In general this is ok but can lead to problems with email deliverability if one of those shared sites gets blacklisted. In that case all sites with the shared IP address get tarred with the same brush! You may well get email errors with 550 or similar due to recipients rejecting your emails.
The only way to stop this is to have your own, unique IP address. This has added benefits to your websites reputation and SEO. Speak to us for low pricing and options.
