Have you wondered what exactly are the differences between shared and dedicated VPN package, or VPN IP? Well there are many of them and we will go through them all. You can see what some people are saying about the differences in shared and dedicated VPN IPs, but also what it means exactly for you and why you should purchase one or the other.
Lets start off with a list first, a list of differences for quick overview followed by the explanation of each.
Benefits of using shared VPN:
Benefits of using dedicated VPN:
So, lets now go over the each benefit of both dedicated or personal VPN packages (IPs) and the shared ones.
Cheaper than the personal/dedicated IP – Yes, the sole purpose of the shared package is that you are sharing the price with someone else so these usually tend to cost less than for the dedicated packages. This however has its downsides regarding your privacy and security, but more on that when we go over the same benefits dedicated IP brings to you.
Switch Servers – Most often the shared package means that you can switch the location you are connecting to if one server is down or not working. A great thing for anyone looking for internet connection that does not reveal his or hers true location. Even though it is useful at some time, it could be your next headache if you are really looking to hide from where you are and do not have any problems while doing that.
Hiding in the crowd effect – This is the true benefit and actually the best reason why you could say that the shared VPN packages are better than the dedicated ones. This means that your actions are mixed with many other people and sometimes that is hard to keep track off which gives you ability to prolong the time frame in which you would be found.
Total control over package – You have purchased a package that is yours alone. This means that if you want, you could share the account details with someone else, but if you decide to terminate the account, change the password or any other action, you have right to it (of course only the rights given to you by your VPN provider. For example, if you have purchased our account, you can check out our policy here).
Static IP – The IP that you get will be your own, and it will not change. This is great for many reasons, one of them being easier to have your true location undetected by various websites that you might use. Actually, when you have the same IP all the time, they would only check your IP once, you would pass and that would be it, while if you tend to come with various IPs they would need to check it out as many times as you come, increasing the chance of finding your true location.
Static IP is also good if you want to have your own website behind it or if you would like to use it for Google AdWords or some similar programs.
Better Privacy – Although you are not hidden in the crowd as with shared IP, you are actually getting better privacy with the dedicated VPN IP. The reason for this is because you are the only one that makes a choice what you want to do and how you would do it online making it much harder to detect that you are actually hiding behind a VPN connection.
Better Security – When you use shared IP, you are actually connected to the same point as so many other VPN users, making it easy for any one of them with bad intentions to get to you, even though they would have harder time to do it if they did not use the same shared IP. With dedicated VPN IP this is different. You are actually protecting your privacy, increasing security and staying safe and anonymous on the internet.
Dedicated VPN packages have better security because with them, everyone else is an outsider for you. Depending on the package and the provider you might have all of the server ports open for you, or like with us, you should contact us and let us know about what ports you need. This makes it better for you as you only have those ports that you need opened and for the rest, you do not even need to think about.
Better support – When something goes bad with the connection, which unfortunately can happen, it is much easier to find out what was wrong if there were just few users on it. This in turn means that you can rest assured that your problem will be resolved quickly and that you would be notified as soon as you can use your account again. It is also true that with dedicated packages you are purchasing support as well, while with most shared accounts, you are not (although most providers tend to repair connection).
Own bandwidth – You do not need to take care if someone will spend entire bandwidth leaving you with scraps of internet juice or if you would get reconnected to some other server just because the bandwidth for the one you were connected came to its limit. With the dedicated VPN packages you have your own bandwidth, that you can use in any manner that you like (that complies with the set guidelines policy).
So who would be the winner?
We are selling only dedicated VPN packages as we believe that this is the only way you can truly be safe online and that it is the only way your browsing habits are not interrupted by someone else. With the dedicated package you actually need to think about very few details, like clearing your cookies and renewing your IP on time (if you want to keep the same IP even after your account would expire) and contacting us if you need some help in connecting or if you need to know something more about the package.
With shared packages, you are actually paying more while getting less and it is usually not something that you want to do, but most of the time people do not know the difference or that they are purchasing the shared IP.
In the end, if you want to hide your true location and you do not want anyone being able to trace you back to who you are our packages will help you in that without any problems. The reason for this is very simple. The IPs that we sell are not only dedicated, they are fresh and dedicated meaning that you will actually be the first person that had been using it and in the same time you are the only person that is using it. This combination makes sure that you are not getting blocked because of the quality of the connection and in order to stay like that for sure, you should make it your habit to clear your cookies which in the linked post you can see how to do it in very few simple steps (OPEN→SELECT→ CLEAR).
