What is the difference between name-based and IP based hosting?
Name-based hosting is when virtual hosting sites share a single IP address, with site traffic directed by the server examining ‘host headers’. IP-based hosting accounts come with a unique IP address that is not shared with anyone else. At any time, for an additional $1 per month, you can convert a name-based account to an IP based account.
