An IP address is a unique number which identifies a site or a server on the world-wide web, so if you have a dedicated IP, it'll be employed only by your websites and will not be shared with other individuals as it happens with shared website hosting accounts. In case you have your own web server, you will have a dedicated IP, but you may require additional ones for a variety of purposes. If you have an online store, for example, you'll need an SSL certificate for it, to ensure that the payment information your clients submit shall be encrypted and safe. 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 type in to be secured. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP address, which needs to be different from the one that you already have on the server. You might also need an individual IP for an app such as a VoIP server, or if you would like a slightly better functionality for a certain Internet site, which shall influence its position in search engine results.

Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Servers

Our Linux VPS servers come with one dedicated IP address by default. Another one is available also - in case they are ordered with a web hosting CP. In the event that you need more IPs, however, you'll be able to incorporate them effortlessly, whatever the plan that you've picked. You are able to do this during the signup process if you need them from the very beginning or via your billing account - if you need them afterwards. The dedicated IPs shall be assigned to your web server shortly after that and you can begin using them. You'll be able to renew the IPs along with the plan for so long as you want to use them. This upgrade is extremely useful not simply for your personal content, but also in the event that you would like to use the virtual server to run a hosting reseller business, because you will be able to offer a dedicated IP to any client who would want to use one. There isn't any restriction on the amount of addresses you could order or on how frequently you may do that.

Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers

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