[thelist] Dedicated IP vs. "not dedicated" ;)

[Simon Batistoni]

> I don't think that dedicated IP means dedicated server.

No it doesn't, but non-dedicated IP *does* mean non-dedicated server, which
can be nasty if your site's server-mates get hungry all of a sudden.

I speak from bitter experience - I had nightmares with this at an
on-a-shoestring site a while ago, where they quickly outgrew their shared
host.

>From where I'm sitting, its a far more important consideration in choosing a
host than the dedicatedness or not of the actual IP address, which only
matters to SSL certificates.
