An IP address is a unique number that distinguishes a website or a hosting server on the world-wide web, so in the event that you have a dedicated IP, it shall be employed just by your websites and shall not be shared with other individuals as it happens with shared hosting accounts. Provided you have your own server, you will have a dedicated IP, but you may need extra ones for different purposes. In case you have a web-based store, for instance, you will need an SSL certificate for it, in order to ensure that the payment information that your clients submit shall be encrypted and safe. The same is valid if you have a login form of some sort and you wish the usernames and the passwords which visitors type in to be protected. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP address, which has to be different from the one which you already have on the server. You could also need an independent IP for an application such as a VoIP server, or if you would like a slightly better overall performance for a given site, which will affect its position in search engine results.
Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Servers
If you select one of the VPS servers solutions which we provide, you will get one dedicated IP address, and with every web server that's ordered with a Control Panel, we give a second one free of charge. If you want to use additional IPs, you could add them to your package with just a few mouse clicks at any time. If you need them immediately, for example, you'll be able to add them to your order and they shall be assigned to your VPS the moment it is set up. In the event that you need them later, you'll be able to add them using your billing CP and they'll be available within a couple of minutes. You could assign them to personal sites with a few clicks or to any of your customers - if you are using the virtual server to start your own hosting business. You may take full advantage of this upgrade as often as you like and you'll be able to renew the additional IP addresses with your plan for so long as desired.
Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers
In case you get 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 require additional IPs, you can request them anytime from your billing area and we'll assign them to the web server a few minutes later. You can also get more IPs during the signup process and they'll be available on your machine the moment it is ready and we hand it over to you. The IP upgrade is available in increments of 3 and you could select how many addresses you will order and how long you shall use them, as you could select the number of IPs which you will renew each month with your hosting server plan. Any IP address which is assigned to your dedicated server may be used not just for your personal content, but for any site or app which your customers may have - if you have obtained the machine with the aim to resell the disk space to third parties.
