An IP address is a unique number which separates an Internet site or a server on the world-wide web, so in the event that you have a dedicated IP, it'll be used just by your websites and will not be shared with other people as it happens with shared Internet hosting accounts. Provided you have your own web server, you will have a dedicated IP, but you may need extra ones for many different purposes. Provided you have an online store, for example, you shall need an SSL certificate for it, to ensure that the payment info your customers submit shall be encrypted and protected. The same is valid in case you have a login form of some kind and you would like the usernames and the passwords which visitors type in to be protected. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP, which needs to be different from the one which you already have on the server. You might also need a separate IP for an application such as a VoIP server, or if you want a slightly better functionality for a certain Internet site, which will affect its position in search engine results.
Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Web Hosting
If you buy one of our Linux VPS web hosting packages, we shall give you one dedicated IP address by default and a second one totally free - in the event that you add any of the hosting Control Panels we offer to your order. More IPs can be purchased easily in case you need them. The option is provided on the order page, so in case you require more IPs from the start, we shall be able to assign them to your VPS the minute it's set up and you can use them the instant you start using the hosting server. If you need them for any reason later on, you can order them through the billing area and they will be available in a couple of minutes. In this way, you can assign dedicated IP addresses not only to your own sites, but also to customers' websites if you have started out a reseller enterprise. You'll be able to order IPs as frequently as needed and renew them together with your virtual hosting server plan. If, at some point, you need less IPs, you'll have the opportunity to renew just those which you need, while the extra ones will be removed from your web server.
Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers Hosting
We supply 3 100 % free dedicated IP addresses with every dedicated server we offer, but if you need more, you'll be able to order them easily and they shall be assigned to your server at once. The upgrade can be purchased both on our order page and in the billing Control Panel, so you could get additional IPs whenever you require them - in the beginning or at any time afterwards. You could order the upgrade in increments of three and add as many IP addresses as you need at any given time. You'll be able to renew just the IPs which you want along with the Internet hosting plan, so if, sooner or later, you need less IPs, you could simply renew those you need and the other ones shall be removed from your hosting server. With our upgrade, you could use a dedicated address not just for your Internet sites and applications, but also for your clients’ websites and apps - in the event that you're using the server to run a web hosting reseller company. Any IP on top of the default 3 IPs can be used for as long as you require it.
