Why are there no Dedicated IP in NLB hosting?
Last updated 2019-02-03
The Windows clustered hosting are truly load balanced with realtime NLB ( Network load balancing ) and share 1 IP address with a virtual MAC address. As such, the clustered system does not allow for dedicated IPs, as it is basically multiple servers sharing 1 IP between each other.
If you need a to do SSL transactions, we recommend setting up the billing pages on subdomain, hosted on standard hosting with a dedicated ip and SSL certificate. Please raise a support ticket for further information or clarification.
