Your site\’s IP appears to be dedicated.

Your site\’s IP appears to be shared.

Here’s a quick and easy tool to check whether the IP of your site is dedicated. Most hosting firms will not bind a single static IP to your site, but assign the IP and domain name combo instead. The same IP with a different host name may result in a differnt site. If you try to type this shared IP into your browser, you will be directed to the hosting company’s server, or some other generic page, while a static one will lead you right to your site.

By now you may be wondering what this tool is doing on a SEO site. Well, while this is still unproven, as most of SEO info, quite a few reputable SEO specialists say that a static IP is better for SEO. Many claim that Google, for example, bans severe violators by IP. So if a spammer happens to have a site on the same IP as yours, when Google bans it, your site will also be banned for no fault of yours. It may be true, and may be not, but I think being on the safe site won’t hurt.

Enter your site’s address in the text box below, and press submit to detect if your site’s IP is dedicated or shared.
