ICANN policies for Assigning Dedicated IP Addresses to Subdomains
ICANNpolicies for Assigning Dedicated IP Addresses to Subdomains
ICANN requires that a website owner meet one of 2 simple requirements before dedicating an IP address to his or her domain. The user’s domain or subdomain must either:
* Require an SSL Certificate — Generally, these certificates are used for e-commerce. SSL Certificates ensure visitors that they are sharing sensitive information on a secure connection with the appropriate domain.
* Run an anonymous FTP site.
Assigning a dedicated IP address for any other reason than the reasons listed above is a violation of ICANN’s terms.
