An IP address is a unique number that distinguishes a website or a server on the Internet, so if you have a dedicated IP, it shall be employed just by your Internet sites and shall not be shared with other people as it happens with shared web hosting accounts. If you have your own hosting server, you'll have a dedicated IP, but you may need extra ones for many different uses. Provided you have a web-based store, for instance, you'll need an SSL certificate for it, so as to ensure that the payment info your clients submit will be encrypted and protected. The same is valid in case you have a login form of some sort and you would like the usernames and the passwords which visitors input to be secured. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP, which ought to 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 desire a slightly better functionality for a given site, which shall affect its position in search engine results.

Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Servers

Our Linux VPS web hosting plans provide one dedicated IP address by default. A second one is available too - in case they are ordered with a web hosting CP. In the event that you need more IPs, however, you'll be able to include them easily, no matter the plan which you have selected. You may do this during the signup process in case you need them from the start or via your billing account - in case you need them later on. The dedicated IPs shall be assigned to your web server right after that and you can begin using them. You could renew the IPs along with the plan for as long as you intend to use them. This upgrade is very useful not simply for your personal content, but also in the event that you would like to use the virtual server to run an Internet hosting reseller business, considering that you shall be able to provide a dedicated IP to every customer who would want to use one. There's no restriction on the amount of addresses you can order or on how frequently you can do that.

Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers

In case you get 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 require additional IPs, you could request them anytime through your billing area and we will assign them to the hosting server a few moments later. You may even get more IPs during the signup procedure and they shall be available on your machine the minute it's ready and we hand it over to you. The IP upgrade is available in increments of three and you could pick how many addresses you will order and how long you'll use them, since you will be able to pick the number of IPs that you'll renew on a monthly basis with your server plan. Any IP address that's assigned to your dedicated server can be used not only for your personal content, but also for any Internet site or app that your customers may have - if you have acquired the machine with the purpose to resell the disk space to third parties.
