Do Shared Hosting Accounts Include Dedicated IPs?

No. Fast2Host shared hosting accounts do not come with dedicated IP addresses by default. The IPs you see in Helm or cPanel are shared IPs, meaning multiple websites are hosted on the same IP address.

What This Means

• You cannot access your site directly via http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
• A Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) such as yourdomain.com is required to use our hosting services.
• Shared IPs are standard practice in shared hosting environments and do not affect website performance.

Dedicated IP Option

If you require a dedicated IP address (for example, for SSL certificates, custom applications, or specific compliance requirements), we can provide one at an additional cost. Please contact our support team to request a dedicated IP.

Shared IPs are suitable for most websites. Dedicated IPs are available if your project requires unique addressing or advanced configurations.
