# Can I have a dedicated IP address for my website?

Due to the exhaustion of the IPv4 address space, we do not offer dedicated IP addresses for our shared hosting plans.

They are no longer required in order to get an SSL certificate either - we offer free [Let'sEncrypt SSL certificates](/web-hosting/how-do-i-get-a-free-lets-encrypt-ssl-certificate-for-my-website) on every domain/site hosted with Krystal.

VPS plans (Kloud hosting accounts) come with their own IP addresses, although extra IP addresses must be justified before purchase.

We don't provide IP addresses for SEO reasons. A dedicated IP address won't help your SEO - please see [this article by Matt Cutts - external link opens in new window](https://www.mattcutts.com/blog/myth-busting-virtual-hosts-vs-dedicated-ip-addresses/) (who works for Google).
