An IP address is a unique number that identifies a site or a web server on the world-wide web, so if you have a dedicated IP, it'll be employed only by your Internet sites and won't be shared with other individuals as it happens with shared website hosting accounts. Provided you have your own hosting server, you shall have a dedicated IP, but you may require extra ones for various purposes. In case you have an electronic store, for instance, you'll need an SSL certificate for it, to make sure that the payment information which your clients submit will be encrypted and safe. The same is valid if you have a login form of some type and you wish the usernames and the passwords that visitors type in to be protected. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP, which should be different from the one that you already have on the hosting server. You could also need a separate IP for an application such as a VoIP server, or if you would like a slightly better performance for a given website, which may influence its position in search engine results.

Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Web Hosting

Our Linux VPS web hosting include one dedicated IP address by default. An additional one is available too - in case they are ordered with a hosting Control Panel. If you require more IPs, however, you shall be able to add them easily, no matter the plan which you have selected. You can do this during the signup process in the event that you need them from the very beginning or using your billing account - if you need them afterwards. The dedicated IPs will be assigned to your server soon after that and you may begin using them. You'll be able to renew the IPs together with the plan for so long as you intend to use them. This upgrade is quite useful not simply for your personal content, but also in case you would like to use the virtual server to run an Internet hosting reseller business, since you'll be able to offer a dedicated IP to any customer who wants to use one. There isn't any restriction on how many addresses you may order or on how often you'll be able to do that.

Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers Hosting

In case you acquire one of our dedicated server plans, you'll get three IP addresses at no additional charge and you'll be able to use them for any purpose. If you need additional IPs, you could request them at any time via your billing area and we shall assign them to the server a few moments later. You may even get additional IPs during the signup process and they shall be available on your web server the moment it's ready and we hand it over to you. The IP upgrade is available in increments of three and you could decide how many addresses you will order and how long you shall use them, as you can select the number of IPs which you will renew on a monthly basis with your hosting server plan. Any IP address that is assigned to your dedicated server could be used not just for your personal content, but also for any website or application which your clients may have - if you have purchased the machine with the goal to resell the disk space to third parties.
