An IP address is a unique number which distinguishes an Internet site or a server on the world-wide web, so in the event that you have a dedicated IP, it will be used exclusively by your websites and will not be shared with others as it happens with shared web hosting accounts. In case you have your own web server, you'll have a dedicated IP, but you may require additional ones for various uses. If you have a web-based store, for example, you'll need an SSL certificate for it, so as to make certain that the payment info that your clients submit will be encrypted and safe. The same is valid in the event that you have a login form of some type and you would like the usernames and the passwords which visitors enter to be secured. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP address, which should be different from the one which you already have on the web server. You could also need a separate IP for an application such as a VoIP server, or if you desire a slightly better overall performance for a particular website, which may influence its position in search engine results.

Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Servers

Our Linux VPS web hosting plans come with one dedicated IP address by default. Another one is available too - if they are ordered with a web hosting CP. In the event that you need more IPs, however, you will be able to include them easily, whatever the plan which you've selected. You could 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 later. The dedicated IPs will be assigned to your web server right after that and you'll be able to start 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 extremely useful not only for your personal content, but also in case you want to use the virtual server to run an Internet hosting reseller business, considering the fact that you'll be able to offer a dedicated IP to any client who would like to use one. There's no restriction on the amount of addresses you could order or on how frequently you can do that.

Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers

In case you get one of our dedicated server packages, you'll receive three IP addresses at no additional charge and you'll be able to use them for any purpose. If you need additional IPs, you can request them at any time from your billing area and we'll assign them to the hosting server a few moments later. You can even get additional IPs during the signup procedure and they will be available on your hosting server the minute it's all set and we hand it over to you. The IP upgrade is available in increments of three and you could choose how many addresses you will order and how long you shall use them, as you will be able to select the number of IPs which you'll renew each month with your server plan. Any IP address which is assigned to your dedicated server could be used not only for your personal content, but also for any site or app that your clients may have - if you have purchased the web server with the intention to resell the disk space to third parties.
