Since the dedicated IP will be hosted on a shared server, you are still not "safe". Having a dedicated server is your best bet. Of course, the dedicated server comes with a dedicated IP.

manifest: Hello Webmasters,

I am currently working on a client project. I require access to certain information on a central database from a major network. For security reasons, I can only access this information via a unique IP using IP/port filter security mode assign to that web address.

My ultimate aim is to minimise cost as much as possible for my client. Its a $64 to $2000 cost saving on the initiative if it works.

I would like to know if there are any OTHER benefits (or precautions necessary) of having a Dedicated IP address over a Dedicated Server. The dedicated IP will be hosted on a shared server.

I would appreciate any knowledge base / experience answer.

Thanks in advance

get a cheap dedicated server or vps.

using a shared environment means you will have to wait for/or rely on your provider for changes to security policies.

will you be hosting the db and the major network will be accessing it, or will the major network host the db and you will be the one accessing it remotely ? any which way, a budget server will sort you out.

Dedicated IP on VPN is a better option compared to Dedicated IP on Shared server.

manifest:

Thank you sir. I am aware of the vast benefits available to my client if I opt to host their site on a dedicated server.

I was only asking if I could go via dedicated IP considering why the need was raised in the first instance.

How about a dedicated IP on VPN? Its a growing company and I have their best interest at heart...

a VPN is ok. most cum wit a dedicated ip or two.

manifest:

The major network host and I will be the one accessing it.

based on this explanation, a dedicated IP will do.
