Do my Rocket.net Managed WordPress sites need dedicated IP addresses?

Your WordPress sites on Rocket.net Managed WordPress plans do not need a dedicated IP address, and we do not offer them for any purpose. Read below to find out why.

What about SEO?

There was a time when Google’s algorithm gave marketers a reason to put their sites on as many unrelated IP addresses as possible. Since Google caught on to this practice, having sites on unique IP addresses is no longer a concern.

Do sites need a dedicated IP address for SSL?

No. This issue was solved in the early 2010’s when SNI (Server Name Indication) was introduced. SNI allows any number of sites to all share the same IP address and still have their own SSL certificate.

The biggest reason a dedicated IP address is not required

Your sites use the Cloudflare CDN (Content Delivery Network), which negates the need for a dedicated IP address. Sites are served using the Cloudflare Enterprise CDN, so the IP address of the origin server on our infrastructure is irrelevant.
