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 will not be shared with other people as it happens with shared web hosting accounts. In case you have your own hosting server, you'll have a dedicated IP, but you may require extra ones for a variety of purposes. Provided you have an Internet store, for instance, you shall need an SSL certificate for it, so as to make certain that the payment info that your clients submit shall be encrypted and secure. The same is valid in case you have a login form of some kind and you would like the usernames and the passwords that visitors type in to be protected. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP, which ought to be different from the one which you already have on the machine. You might also need a separate IP for an app such as a VoIP server, or if you want a slightly better performance for a given website, which shall influence its position in search engine results.

Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Web Hosting

If you purchase one of our VPS web hosting, we'll provide you with one dedicated IP address by default and a second one absolutely free - in the event that you add any one of the hosting Control Panels that we offer to your order. Some other IPs may be purchased with ease in case you need them. The option is available on the order page, so in case you require more IPs right away, we can assign them to your VPS the instant it is set up and you can use them the second you begin using the hosting server. If you require them for any reason later, you can order them via the billing area and they will be available in a few minutes. In this way, you shall be able to assign dedicated IP addresses not just to your own sites, but also to clients' websites provided you've launched a reseller enterprise. You'll be able to order IPs as often as required and renew them along with your virtual hosting server plan. If, eventually, you require less IPs, you shall have the opportunity to renew just those which you need, while the extra ones shall be taken off your hosting server.

Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers Hosting

If you acquire one of our dedicated server plans, you will get 3 IP addresses at no additional charge and you'll be able to use them for any purpose. If you require additional IPs, you'll be able to request them at any time from your billing area and we'll assign them to the server a few minutes later. You can even get more IPs during the signup process and they will be available on your machine the moment it's all set and we hand it over to you. The IP upgrade is available in increments of three and you may choose how many addresses you'll order and how long you'll use them, as you could choose the number of IPs which you will renew each month with your web server plan. Any IP address which is assigned to your dedicated server could be used not just for your personal content, but for any website or application which your clients may have - if you have acquired the machine with the aim to resell the disk space to third parties.
