An IP address is a unique number that distinguishes a site or a server on the Internet, so if you have a dedicated IP, it shall be employed only by your sites and won't be shared with others as it happens with shared Internet hosting accounts. If you have your own web server, you will have a dedicated IP, but you may require extra ones for many different purposes. Provided you have an Internet store, for instance, you will need an SSL certificate for it, so as to ensure that the payment info that your customers submit shall be encrypted and secure. The same is valid if you have a login form of some type and you wish the usernames and the passwords that visitors enter to be secured. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP address, which should be different from the one that you already have on the web server. You might also need an independent IP for an app such as a VoIP server, or if you desire a slightly better performance for a particular site, which will affect its position in search engine results.
Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Hosting
If you choose to order one of our Linux VPS hosting, we'll supply you with one dedicated IP address by default and a second one free of charge - in case you add any one of the hosting Control Panels we offer to your order. Extra IPs may be purchased easily in case you require them. The option is provided on the order page, so in the event that you require more IPs from the beginning, we shall be able to assign them to your VPS whenever it is set up and you can use them the instant you begin using the machine. If you require them for any reason afterwards, you can order them through the billing area and they'll be available in a couple of minutes. That way, you can assign dedicated IP addresses not only to your own websites, but also to clients' websites if you've started out a reseller enterprise. You can order IPs as often as needed and renew them along with your virtual server plan. If, eventually, you need less IPs, you will have the chance to renew only those that you require, while the extra ones shall be taken off your hosting server.
Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Web Hosting
We provide three absolutely free dedicated IP addresses with each dedicated server that we offer, but in the event that you need more, you can order them with ease and they shall be assigned to your machine at once. The upgrade can be purchased both on our order page and within the billing Control Panel, so you can get additional IPs whenever you require them - in the beginning or at any time afterwards. You may order the upgrade in increments of three and include as many IP addresses as you need at any given time. You'll be able to renew just the IPs that you need along with the website hosting plan, so if, sooner or later, you need less IPs, you may simply renew those you need and the other ones shall be removed from your server. With our upgrade, you'll be able to use a dedicated address not just for your Internet sites and applications, but also for your clients’ Internet sites and apps - in case you're using the server to run a web hosting reseller enterprise. Any IP on top of the default three IPs could be employed for as long as you need it.
