An IP address is a unique number which identifies a site or a web server on the world-wide web, so if you have a dedicated IP, it'll be employed just by your websites and won't be shared with others as it happens with shared website hosting accounts. Provided you have your own hosting server, you will have a dedicated IP, but you may need additional ones for a variety of purposes. If you have an Internet store, for instance, you'll need an SSL certificate for it, to ensure that the payment info that your customers submit will be encrypted and protected. The same is valid if you have a login form of some kind and you want the usernames and the passwords which visitors enter to be secured. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP address, which should be different from the one which you already have on the web server. You could also need an individual IP for an app such as a VoIP server, or if you need a slightly better performance for a certain website, which may affect its position in search engine results.

Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Hosting

If you decide to buy one of our VPS hosting packages, we'll provide you with one dedicated IP address by default and a second one at no extra cost - in case you add any one of the hosting Control Panels that we offer to your order. Some other IPs could be purchased with ease in the event that you require them. The option is offered on the order page, so in case you need more IPs from the beginning, we'll able to assign them to your VPS whenever it's set up and you can use them the second you begin using the machine. If you require them for any reason afterwards, you can order them from the billing area and they will be available within a couple of minutes. In this way, you shall be able to assign dedicated IP addresses not just to your own websites, but also to clients' websites if you have launched a reseller business. You can order IPs as often as required and renew them along with your virtual server plan. If, sooner or later, you need less IPs, you will have the opportunity to renew just those which you require, while the extra ones will be taken off your web server.

Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Web Hosting

When you obtain one of our dedicated server solutions, you'll receive 3 IP addresses at no additional charge and you can use them for any purpose. If you require additional IPs, you can request them whenever you want via your billing area and we will assign them to the server a few moments later. You can even get more IPs during the signup process and they shall be available on your server as soon as it's all set and we hand it over to you. The IP upgrade is available in increments of 3 and you may select how many addresses you will order and how long you shall use them, since you could pick the number of IPs which you'll renew on a monthly basis with your web server plan. Any IP address that's assigned to your dedicated server can be used not just for your personal content, but also for any Internet site or application your customers may have - if you have bought the hosting server with the intention to resell the disk space to third parties.
