Using Bluehost with a Dedicated IP

2009-11-01T18:36:00.000-08:00

Being able to use a dedicated server and thus a dedicated IP address has numerous benefits to the consumer. Search engines monitor the number of domains that share the same IP address and using a static IP can possibly help your SEO strategy.

Because the rankings that the search engines assign to a website or webpage depends on the IP address, it is better to have a dedicated IP whenever possible. Many argue this point but it certainly doesnt hurt.
