An IP address is a unique number that separates an Internet site or a hosting server on the world-wide web, so in the event that you have a dedicated IP, it will be used solely by your sites and shall not be shared with other people as it happens with shared hosting accounts. Provided you have your own hosting server, you'll have a dedicated IP, but you may need extra ones for various uses. If you have an Internet store, for example, you'll need an SSL certificate for it, so as to make certain that the payment info that your customers submit will be encrypted and secure. The same is valid if you have a login form of some sort and you want the usernames and the passwords which visitors input to be protected. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP address, which should be different from the one that you already have on the hosting server. You might also need an independent IP for an application such as a VoIP server, or if you would like a slightly better efficiency for a certain site, which will affect its position in search engine results.

Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Servers

If you purchase one of our VPS web hosting plans, we shall give you one dedicated IP address by default and a second one at no extra cost - if you add any of the hosting Control Panels we offer to your order. Some other IPs could be purchased effortlessly if you need them. The option is available on the order page, so in the event that you need more IPs from the beginning, we'll able to assign them to your VPS as soon as it's set up and you can use them the second you begin using the server. If you require them for any reason later, you can order them through the billing area and they'll be available in a couple of minutes. This way, you'll be able to assign dedicated IP addresses not only to your own websites, but also to clients' websites provided you have started out a reseller business. You can order IPs as frequently as needed and renew them along with your virtual hosting server plan. If, at some point, you require less IPs, you'll have the opportunity to renew only those that you require, while the extra ones shall be taken off your hosting server.

Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers

Each and every dedicated server that we offer features three dedicated IP addresses supplied totally free on top of the monthly fee for the plan. We also supply you with the chance to add more IPs to your web server both when you sign up and at a later time through your billing CP, so you could order the IPs whenever you require them without a limit on the amount or on how frequently you get them. They can be purchased in groups of three and will be assigned to your server immediately. You can renew them with the Internet hosting plan and you can decide if you will renew all of them, or a smaller amount - in the event that you no longer need the rest. Any dedicated IP address assigned to your server could be used for any purpose: for a personal Internet site, for a software web server, or for a hosting customer - if you have decided to launch your own web hosting company and you're reselling accounts to other people.
