The main difference between a dedicated IP and a shared IP is who can use it. A dedicated IP is an internet protocol address assigned exclusively to your account by a service like a VPN provider or a hosting site. A shared IP is an internet protocol address assigned by a service to many users.

There are some other differences between the two. A dedicated IP is less likely to be blacklisted from certain websites; it enables you to avoid CAPTCHAs and makes online payments easy. With a shared IP, your online footprints are hidden among the online activity of everyone else using the same IP.

That does not mean that a dedicated IP is less secure — with a VPN, your real IP stays hidden from third parties, no matter whether it’s dedicated or shared.

Adding a dedicated IP to your VPN service gives you freedom – you can switch between shared and dedicated IP depending on what you’re doing online.

What is a dedicated IP?

A dedicated IP is an IP address that a service (e.g., a hosting site, a VPN provider) assigns solely for your use. Unlike a shared IP, which is assigned to many users, a dedicated IP is unique to your account — no one else can use it. Whether you need a dedicated IP or a shared IP depends entirely on your requirements — neither is inherently better.

Benefits of a dedicated IP

Your personal VPN secure whitelisted access to business servers

Secure connection to business servers

To control who connects to business resources, administrators specify a list of authorized IP addresses. This way, you can log in to a system only if your IP matches one on the whitelist. A dedicated IP address is an ideal solution for connecting to remote corporate systems or private servers securely.

Secure online payments

If you use VPN for secure online banking, each time you may appear to virtually be in a different location. Banks may treat it as a suspicious activity and lock you out of your account. Solution? Using VPN with a static dedicated IP lets you avoid repetitive verification while keeping your security in place.

Skip the blacklists

A downside of a shared IP is a “bad neighbor effect”: you never know what other users with the same IP address are up to. That’s why shared IPs can turn up in blacklists, limiting your online freedom. Even though a dedicated IP address is not as discreet, there is a much lower possibility for it to be blacklisted.

No CAPTCHA authentication on dedicated IP

Forget the ‘captchas’

Multiple people using the same shared IP address often trigger CAPTCHA authentication. It becomes too annoying to constantly prove that you’re not a robot. By using a dedicated IP address, you will be able to log in to your email and other online accounts without unnecessary interruptions.

FAQ

What is IP VPN?

IP VPNs are mostly used by big businesses or corporations that use an internal, private network. Only employees of a company will have access to their work files once connected to their IP VPN.

What is the difference between a regular and an IP VPN?

In most regards, an IP VPN is the same as a normal VPN, except it doesn’t rely on access to the public internet. But for the regular public, a normal VPN has everything you need.

Implementing a company-wide IP VPN is costly, while a subscription to a regular VPN can be very cheap — for example, NordVPN offers a significant discount for its 2-year plan. If you’re only looking to surf the web privately, it’s not worth investing in an IP VPN.

Do I need a dedicated IP?

It depends. Some networks (e.g., corporate networks, private servers) only allow access from authorized IPs. It’s the same with online banking or other sensitive systems — you may get automatically blocked for using many different IPs from many different countries. A dedicated IP makes sure you’ll have access to these networks and services. Moreover, some websites may block a shared IP because another user has misbehaved — a dedicated IP makes sure you won’t suffer from this “bad neighbor effect.”

Can I buy an IP address?

You can’t “buy” an IP address because they are not for sale. IP addresses are public resources, which are administered and delegated by regional internet registries.

But if you need a unique, static IP address for your VPN needs, you can order a dedicated IP from NordVPN.

Is a dedicated IP safe?

Absolutely. NordVPN’s dedicated IP will encrypt your internet traffic and hide your real IP address and virtual location.

How much does a dedicated IP address cost?

You can get NordVPN’s dedicated IP for $70.00/year.
