Enhancing Your Server Identity

At FREAKHOSTING, we offer a Dedicated IP option for our high-performance shared game hosting clusters. This feature provides your server with a unique, exclusive numeric identifier on the public internet, distinguishing your service from the standard shared environments. While shared hosting is highly efficient, a Dedicated IP is an essential upgrade for community owners who prioritize professional branding and absolute network isolation.

Shared vs. Dedicated Infrastructure

Understanding the technical difference between these two configurations is important for choosing the right path for your community.
In a standard configuration, dozens of customers may share a single IP address. To distinguish between different game servers, each instance is assigned a unique Port Number.
  • Example: 127.0.0.1:25565 (Minecraft) vs. 127.0.0.1:25566 (Another Minecraft Server).

​
Strategic Advantages

Implementing a Dedicated IP provides several tangible benefits for your community’s growth and stability.
A Dedicated IP allows for a much cleaner server address. When combined with a Custom Subdomain, your players can join using a simple, professional URL like play.yourbrand.com without needing to remember or input a five-digit port number.
A Dedicated IP isolates your server’s traffic from other users on the same node. In the rare event that another customer on a shared IP is targeted by a massive DDoS attack, your server remains unaffected by the “collateral damage” of that network stress, as your traffic is routed through a separate logical path.
Dedicated IPs often maintain a superior “reputation” with automated security systems and ISP firewalls. This reduces the probability of your server being flagged as a suspicious source and ensures consistent connectivity for international players.

​
How to Upgrade

You can select the Dedicated IP option as an addon during your initial checkout. If you already have an active server, navigate to the Upgrade/Downgrade Options within your Billing Panel to add this feature to your existing plan immediately.
