An IP address is a unique number which separates a site or a web server on the world-wide web, so if you have a dedicated IP, it shall be employed exclusively by your sites and will not be shared with other individuals as it happens with shared hosting accounts. In case you have your own server, you shall have a dedicated IP, but you may need extra ones for various uses. Provided you have an online store, for example, you shall need an SSL certificate for it, in order to make sure that the payment information which your customers submit shall be encrypted and protected. The same is valid in the event that you have a login form of some kind and you wish the usernames and the passwords which visitors input to be secured. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP address, which ought to be different from the one that you already have on the web server. You may also need an individual IP for an app such as a VoIP server, or if you want a slightly better functionality for a given site, which will influence its position in search engine results.

Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Web Hosting

Our Linux VPS web hosting services feature one dedicated IP address by default. A second one is available too - when they are ordered with a web hosting CP. In case you require more IPs, however, you shall be able to incorporate them with ease, whatever the package that you have chosen. You can do this during the signup process in case you need them from the very beginning or via your billing account - if you need them afterwards. The dedicated IPs shall be assigned to your web server shortly after that and you could begin using them. You can renew the IPs along with the plan for so long as you plan to use them. This upgrade is quite useful not only for your personal content, but also in the event that you would like to use the virtual server to run a web hosting reseller business, considering that you'll be able to provide a dedicated IP to every customer who wants to use one. There's no restriction on how many addresses you'll be able to order or on how many times you could do that.

Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers Hosting

In case you obtain one of our dedicated server solutions, you will get 3 IP addresses at no additional charge and you may use them for any purpose. If you need additional IPs, you may request them whenever you want via your billing area and we shall assign them to the web server a couple of minutes later. You may also get additional IPs during the signup process and they'll be available on your server the moment it's all set and we hand it over to you. The IP upgrade is available in increments of three and you could select how many addresses you'll order and how long you'll use them, since you will be able to select the number of IPs that you'll renew every month with your server plan. Any IP address which is assigned to your dedicated server can be used not only for your personal content, but also for any Internet site or application which your clients may have - if you have bought the machine with the intent to resell the disk space to third parties.
