Question
What is the difference between Shared and Dedicated IP addresses?
Answer
- A dedicated IP address is bound to a single account (Plesk administrator, Customer, or Reseller). It can be used to host multiple websites as long as they belong to the same account.
- A shared IP address can be shared among any number of websites regardless if they belong to the same account or not.
IP Address distribution can be changed at Home > Tools & Settings > IP-Addresses > IP-address.

Dedicated IP has many use cases, for instance I use a ded ip to fix my online identity so that the my online payment are not disturbed due to change of location every time I connect to a VPN. With shared IP as discussed above would not guarantee me to connect with same IP address I connected before. I use VPN ded ip and they give you choice of 8 countries; Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Germany, Malta, UK, US and Singapore.
