An IP address is a unique number that identifies a site or a server on the Internet, so if you have a dedicated IP, it will be used exclusively by your websites and shall not be shared with other individuals as it happens with shared web hosting accounts. In case you have your own server, you will have a dedicated IP, but you may need extra ones for various purposes. If you have an electronic store, for instance, you shall need an SSL certificate for it, in order to ensure that the payment information which your customers submit will be encrypted and safe. The same is valid in the event that you have a login form of some sort and you want the usernames and the passwords that 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 server. You could also need an individual IP for an app such as a VoIP server, or if you would like a slightly better efficiency for a given Internet site, which shall affect its position in search engine results.

Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Web Hosting

If you buy one of our Linux VPS web hosting, we will supply you with one dedicated IP address by default and a second one 100 % free - if you add any of the hosting Control Panels we offer to your order. More IPs could be purchased with ease in the event that you need them. The option is offered on the order page, so if you need more IPs from the start, we shall be able to assign them to your VPS the moment it's put in place and you can use them the minute you begin using the machine. If you require them for any reason afterwards, you can order them via the billing area and they will be available within a few minutes. That way, you shall be able to assign dedicated IP addresses not just to your own sites, but also to clients' websites in case you've launched a reseller enterprise. You can order IPs as often as required and renew them together with your virtual server plan. If, at some point, you need less IPs, you will have the chance to renew just those which you need, while the extra ones shall be taken off your web server.

Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers Hosting

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