IPs

Can someone explain to me why having 5 Ips is better than 1?

Thanks.

Who said it was better is the first question.

The reason for having an IP all to yourself is mainly if you want to have SSL to secure your website pages in case ordering is done on your website.

Other than that, reasons vary but it is not necessary to have your own IP unless you come across one of those reasons.

In my opinion all thats really needed is 2 ip's 1 for both sites and 1 nameserver and 1 for 1 ssl site and 1 nameserver

but the great thing about surpass is they provide you with 5 to use
