An IP address is a unique number which distinguishes a site or a web server on the world-wide web, so in the event that you have a dedicated IP, it'll be used only by your sites and won't be shared with other people as it happens with shared Internet hosting accounts. In case you have your own server, you will have a dedicated IP, but you may need extra ones for a variety of purposes. If you have an online store, for instance, you'll need an SSL certificate for it, in order to make certain that the payment information your clients submit shall be encrypted and safe. The same is valid in the event that you have a login form of some type and you wish the usernames and the passwords that visitors enter to be protected. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP, which needs to be different from the one which you already have on the web server. You might also need a separate IP for an app such as a VoIP server, or if you desire a slightly better overall performance for a given website, which shall affect its position in search engine results.

Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Hosting

If you decide to order one of our VPS hosting packages, we'll supply you with one dedicated IP address by default and a second one 100 % free - in case you add any one of the hosting Control Panels we offer to your order. Additional IPs can be purchased easily in the event that you need them. The option is offered on the order page, so in case you require more IPs from the start, we'll able to assign them to your VPS whenever it is set up and you can use them the second you start using the server. If you require them for any reason later, you can order them via the billing area and they will be available in a matter of minutes. Thus, you'll be able to assign dedicated IP addresses not just to your own websites, but also to customers' sites provided you have started out a reseller business. You can order IPs as often as needed and renew them along with your virtual web server plan. If, sooner or later, you need less IPs, you shall have the chance to renew just those which you need, while the extra ones shall be removed from your hosting server.

Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Web Hosting

If you obtain one of our dedicated server solutions, you'll get 3 IP addresses at no additional charge and you could use them for any purpose. If you require additional IPs, you'll be able to 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 shall be available on your hosting server as soon as it's ready and we hand it over to you. The IP upgrade is available in increments of three and you may pick how many addresses you'll order and how long you shall use them, since you could choose the number of IPs which you will renew every month with your web server plan. Any IP address which is assigned to your dedicated server could be used not only for your personal content, but also for any Internet site or application which your clients may have - if you have purchased the web server with the aim to resell the disk space to third parties.
