An IP address is a unique number that distinguishes a website or a server on the Internet, so in the event that you have a dedicated IP, it'll be used only by your Internet sites and won't be shared with other people as it happens with shared web hosting accounts. Provided you have your own web server, you'll have a dedicated IP, but you may need additional ones for a variety of purposes. If you have an electronic store, for instance, you'll need an SSL certificate for it, in order to make sure that the payment info that your clients submit will be encrypted and secure. 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, which has to be different from the one that you already have on the server. You might also need a separate IP for an application such as a VoIP server, or if you would like a slightly better functionality for a certain website, which shall affect its position in search engine results.

Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Servers

Our VPS servers include one dedicated IP address by default. A second one is available too - if they are ordered with an Internet hosting Control Panel. In the event that you need more IPs, however, you shall be able to incorporate them easily, no matter the plan that you've chosen. You'll be able to do this during the signup procedure if you need them from the very beginning or using your billing account - in the event that you need them later. The dedicated IPs shall be assigned to your web server shortly after that and you'll be able to begin using them. You could renew the IPs along with the plan for as long as you plan to use them. This upgrade is incredibly useful not only for your personal content, but also in case you want to use the virtual server to run an Internet hosting reseller business, considering the fact that you will be able to supply a dedicated IP to every customer who wants to use one. There isn't any restriction on how many addresses you'll be able to order or on how often you'll be able to do that.

Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers

When you get one of our dedicated server plans, you'll receive 3 IP addresses at no additional charge and you could use them for any purpose. If you need even more IPs, you can request them at any time from your billing area and we'll assign them to the web server a couple of minutes later. You may even get more IPs during the signup procedure and they shall be available on your server the moment it's all set and we hand it over to you. The IP upgrade is available in increments of three and you'll be able to decide how many addresses you'll order and how long you will use them, as you will be able to choose the number of IPs that you will renew each month with your web server plan. Any IP address that's assigned to your dedicated server can be used not just for your personal content, but also for any site or app your clients may have - if you have obtained the server with the purpose to resell the disk space to third parties.
