An IP address is a unique number that separates a site or a server on the world-wide web, so if you have a dedicated IP, it shall be employed only by your Internet sites and will not be shared with other people as it happens with shared hosting accounts. If you have your own web server, you will have a dedicated IP, but you may require additional ones for different uses. In case you have an online store, for example, you will need an SSL certificate for it, in order to make sure that the payment info your customers submit shall be encrypted and safe. The same is valid in case you have a login form of some type and you wish the usernames and the passwords that visitors input to be secured. 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 independent IP for an app such as a VoIP server, or if you need a slightly better overall performance for a certain Internet site, which shall affect its position in search engine results.
Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Servers
If you decide to order one of our VPS servers, we shall supply you with one dedicated IP address by default and a second one absolutely free - in the event that you add any of the hosting Control Panels that we offer to your order. Additional IPs could be purchased with ease if you need them. The option is offered on the order page, so in the event that you need more IPs right away, we'll able to assign them to your VPS the moment it is put in place and you can use them the moment you begin using the web server. If you require them for any reason afterwards, you can order them from the billing area and they'll be available within a few minutes. That way, you'll be able to assign dedicated IP addresses not only to your own websites, but also to clients' websites in case you've started a reseller enterprise. You could order IPs as frequently as needed and renew them together with your virtual server plan. If, sooner or later, you require less IPs, you'll have the opportunity to renew just those which you require, while the extra ones shall be removed from your web server.
Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers
All Linux dedicated servers which we offer come with 3 IP addresses by default and you could use them in any way you see fit. If you need additional IPs for any reason, you can add them to your server with just a few clicks without limitations as to their number or to the period for which you will be able to employ them. This upgrade comes in increments of three and in case you require the IPs right away, you'll be able to add them to the package deal during the signup process, while in the event that it turns out that you require more IPs at some point afterwards, you'll be able to order them just as effortlessly using your billing area and we'll assign them to your dedicated server a few moments later. The dedicated IPs may be renewed together with the hosting server plan on a monthly basis and you'll be able to decide if you shall renew all of them or just a few - in the event that you no longer require that many. You could use the IPs both for your own Internet sites and for client hosting accounts - when you are using the dedicated server as an Internet hosting reseller platform.
