An IP address is a unique number that separates an Internet site or a hosting server on the Internet, so in the event that you have a dedicated IP, it will be used solely by your Internet sites and won't be shared with other individuals as it happens with shared web hosting accounts. Provided you have your own hosting server, you will have a dedicated IP, but you may require extra ones for a variety of uses. If you have an electronic store, for example, you shall need an SSL certificate for it, to ensure that the payment info which your customers submit will be encrypted and protected. The same is valid in the event that you have a login form of some kind and you want the usernames and the passwords that visitors type in to be protected. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP address, which ought to 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 desire a slightly better overall performance for a certain Internet site, which will affect its position in search engine results.
Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Servers
If you opt for one of the VPS servers solutions which we offer, you shall get one dedicated IP address, and with every hosting server that's ordered with a CP, we give a second one absolutely free. If you wish to use additional IPs, you'll be able to add them to your package with just several clicks anytime. In case you need them immediately, for example, you can add them to your order and they'll be assigned to your VPS the moment it's set up. If you need them later, you may add them via your billing Control Panel and they'll be available within a couple of minutes. You can assign them to personal sites with a couple of mouse clicks or to any of your clients - if you're using the virtual server to start your own hosting firm. You'll be able to benefit from this upgrade as often as you like and you'll be able to renew the additional IP addresses with your plan for as long as desired.
Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers
All dedicated web hosting plans which we offer come with 3 IP addresses by default and you could use them in whatever way you see fit. If you need even more IPs for any reason, you can add them to your hosting server with just a few clicks with no limits as to their number or to the length of time for which you'll be able to employ them. This upgrade comes in increments of three and if you require the IPs straight away, you could add them to the plan during the signup procedure, while if it turns out that you require more IPs at some point later, you'll be able to order them just as simply via your billing area and we'll assign them to your dedicated server a couple of minutes later. The dedicated IPs can be renewed with the web server plan on a monthly basis and you could decide if you'll renew all of them or simply a few - in the event that you no longer require that many. You'll be able to use the IPs both for your own websites and for customer hosting accounts - provided you're using the dedicated server as a web hosting reseller platform.
