An IP address is a unique number which distinguishes a website or a server on the world-wide web, so in the event that you have a dedicated IP, it will be employed solely by your websites and will not be shared with other individuals as it happens with shared Internet hosting accounts. If you have your own web server, you shall have a dedicated IP, but you may require extra ones for a variety of purposes. If you have an Internet store, for example, you'll need an SSL certificate for it, to make certain 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 type and you wish 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 that you already have on the hosting server. You could also need an independent IP for an app such as a VoIP server, or if you would like a slightly better performance for a certain website, which will affect its position in search engine results.
Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Servers
Our VPS servers include one dedicated IP address by default. An additional one is available as well - when they are ordered with a web hosting Control Panel. In case you need more IPs, however, you will be able to add them effortlessly, no matter the plan that you've picked. You may do this during the signup process in case you need them from the very beginning or using your billing account - if you need them later on. The dedicated IPs shall be assigned to your web server soon after that and you'll be able to begin using them. You can renew the IPs along with the plan for as long as you intend to use them. This upgrade is incredibly useful not just for your personal content, but also in case you want to use the virtual server to run a web hosting reseller business, considering that you'll be able to supply a dedicated IP to any customer who wants to use one. There isn't a restriction on the amount of addresses you'll be able to order or on how often you could do that.
Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers
If you obtain one of our dedicated server plans, you'll receive 3 IP addresses at no additional charge and you can use them for any purpose. If you require more IPs, you can request them at any time via your billing area and we'll assign them to the server a couple of minutes later. You can also get more IPs during the signup procedure and they'll be available on your hosting 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'll be able to decide how many addresses you will order and how long you'll use them, since you can pick the number of IPs that you will renew every month with your server plan. Any IP address that is assigned to your dedicated server can be used not just for your personal content, but also for any website or application that your clients may have - if you have bought the hosting server with the intention to resell the disk space to third parties.
