Do I need to purchase a dedicated IP address?

If you plan to purchase and install a secure SSL certificate on your account, you will need a dedicated IP. Most customers do not need their own SSL certificate, and do not need a dedicated IP. You can also purchase one later if you need to--just contact us.

Testimonials

We get the "small company" feel with Acorn Host, rather then the mega-corporation feel like most service companies we are required to deal with.

S.L.

I'm extremely pleased with the quality of the service and your quick response to questions and concerns...I have been treated respectfully whenever I had a question, no matter how simple and basic—and response is very quick.

L.B.
