Summary of eventsThis article explains the differences between VPS and dedicated server proprietary IP, shared IP, native IP and broadcast IP, as well as their impact on mail delivery, website reputation, wind control judgments, and use of SSL certificates and ports. Exclusive IP is useful for controlling credibility, suitable for long-term station building; Shared IP costs less, but neighbor behavior may be cumulative. Tests and static pages can be considered for sharing.

Core Conclusion: When you buy VPS or dedicated server IP is exclusive or shared, it will affect the mail delivery and website credibility and wind control results; then superimpose the native IP / broadcast IP judgment to decide whether it is suitable for station building, testing or regional service. Exclusive IP buys reputational autonomy, sharing IP saves costs; long-term to do stations or self-build mails, prioritize exclusivity, temporary tests can be shared, but don't run mail 。

What is it?

  • Exclusive IP: This server has an exclusive use of a IPv4 address, and what it does or sends affects only itself.
  • Shared IP: Multiple server users share the same or a portion of an export IP, commonly on web hosting , low-cost NAT VPS or some host platforms.
  • Native IP: The registered IP is assigned to an address that coincides with the location of data center , e.g., United States data center uses the United States .
  • Broadcast IP: to broadcast the IP segments of other countries into local data center use.

  • Buy a second-hand IP address, especially if your previous usage history may affect the delivery of mail and wind control results.
  • Shared IP is not the same as being unable to host, but it's not suitable for mail, high-trust requirements and full port scenarios.
  • Depending on the specific region of service, a public IP library can be used to query the registry and confirm whether it meets business requirements.
  • Verification of price information for: Not disclosed. No specific price, billing cycle or verification date is given in the original text.
