An IP address is a unique number that distinguishes a website or a server on the Internet, so in the event that you have a dedicated IP, it'll be employed solely by your Internet sites and shall not be shared with others as it happens with shared hosting accounts. If you have your own hosting server, you shall have a dedicated IP, but you may need additional ones for different uses. If you have an online store, for example, you shall need an SSL certificate for it, so as to ensure that the payment info which your customers submit shall be encrypted and secure. The same is valid in case 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 needs to be different from the one which you already have on the machine. You may also need a separate IP for an app such as a VoIP server, or if you want a slightly better performance for a given site, which will affect its position in search engine results.
Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Servers
If you choose one of the VPS servers solutions we offer, you will get 1 dedicated IP address, and with any web server that is ordered with a CP, we supply a second one at no extra cost. If you want to use additional IPs, you could add them to your plan with just a couple of clicks whenever you want. In case you need them right away, for instance, you could add them to your order and they'll be assigned to your VPS the minute it is set up. If you need them later, you can add them through your billing Control Panel and they shall be available within a matter of minutes. You may assign them to personal websites with a couple of mouse clicks or to any of your clients - if you're using the virtual server to start out your own hosting firm. You may benefit from this upgrade as often as you want and you may renew the additional IP addresses with your plan for as long as desired.
Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers
Every dedicated server that we offer comes with three dedicated IP addresses provided totally free on top of the monthly fee for the plan. We also offer the opportunity to add more IPs to your web server both when you sign up and at a later time via your billing CP, so you could order the IPs whenever you need them with no limitation on the amount or on how often you get them. They can be purchased in groups of 3 and will be assigned to your web server instantly. You could renew them with the Internet hosting plan and you'll be able to choose if you'll renew all of them, or a smaller amount - in case you no longer require the rest. Every dedicated IP address assigned to your hosting server may be used for any purpose: for a personal website, for a software server, or for a hosting client - in case you've decided to start off your own hosting enterprise and you are reselling accounts to other people.
