An IP address is a unique number that distinguishes a website or a web server on the Internet, so in the event that you have a dedicated IP, it'll be used exclusively by your sites and shall not be shared with other people as it happens with shared hosting accounts. If you have your own web server, you'll have a dedicated IP, but you may need extra ones for many different purposes. Provided you have an online store, for instance, you will need an SSL certificate for it, so as to make sure that the payment information your customers submit will be encrypted and protected. The same is valid in case you have a login form of some sort and you wish the usernames and the passwords that visitors type in to be protected. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP address, which has to be different from the one that you already have on the hosting server. You may also need an individual IP for an application such as a VoIP server, or if you would like a slightly better overall performance for a particular Internet site, which may affect its position in search engine results.

Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Web Hosting

If you purchase one of our Linux VPS web hosting, we shall provide you with one dedicated IP address by default and a second one totally free - in the event that you add any of the hosting Control Panels that we offer to your order. Additional IPs could be purchased effortlessly in case you require them. The option is provided on the order page, so in the event that you need more IPs from the start, we'll able to assign them to your VPS the moment it's set up and you can use them the minute you begin using the server. If you require them for any reason later on, you can order them via the billing area and they'll be available in a couple of minutes. In this way, you can assign dedicated IP addresses not just to your own sites, but also to clients' sites provided you've started out a reseller business. You could order IPs as often as needed and renew them together with your virtual hosting server plan. If, eventually, you require less IPs, you shall have the opportunity to renew only those that you need, while the extra ones shall be taken off your web server.

Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers Hosting

All Linux dedicated hosting services that we offer feature 3 IP addresses by default and you could use them in whatever way you see fit. In case you need additional IPs for any reason, you may add them to your server with a couple of clicks without restrictions as to their number or the period for which you shall be able to employ them. This upgrade comes in increments of three and if you require the IPs right away, you'll be able to add them to the package deal during the signup procedure, while in case it turns out that you need more IPs at some point later on, you'll be able to order them just as quickly using your billing area and we will assign them to your dedicated server a few minutes later. The dedicated IPs could be renewed with the server plan on a monthly basis and you can choose if you'll renew all of them or simply a few - in the event that you no longer need that many. You'll be able to use the IPs both for your own Internet sites and for client hosting accounts - when you're using the dedicated server as an Internet hosting reseller platform.
