An IP address is a unique number that identifies a site or a hosting server on the Internet, so if you have a dedicated IP, it will be used just by your Internet sites and shall not be shared with others as it happens with shared website hosting accounts. If you have your own server, you will have a dedicated IP, but you may require additional ones for different purposes. In case you have a web-based store, for example, you will need an SSL certificate for it, to make certain that the payment info which your customers submit shall be encrypted and secure. The same is valid in case you have a login form of some type and you would like the usernames and the passwords that visitors type in to be secured. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP address, which ought to be different from the one that you already have on the machine. You may also need an independent IP for an app such as a VoIP server, or if you need a slightly better efficiency for a particular Internet site, which will affect its position in search engine results.

Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Servers

Each VPS server plan that we offer features one dedicated IP address and if you add a web hosting Control Panel to it, we'll supply you with a second one at no additional cost, so you can use it as you see fit. If you would like to use more IPs, you'll be able to order them with just two clicks anytime, since you will locate this kind of an option both on our order page and in your billing CP. In the first case, the dedicated addresses will be available the minute the virtual server is prepared, while in the second - a few minutes after you purchase them. You could renew the IPs along with your VPS plan and use them for as long as you would like. They can come in handy not only for your own websites, but also for the sites of any clients which you could have in case you are using the virtual server to run an Internet hosting reseller business. There isn't a limitation on how often you could order additional IPs or on the number of of them you'll be able to use with your server at any time.

Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers

In case you obtain one of our dedicated server packages, you will get three IP addresses at no additional charge and you may use them for any purpose. If you need more IPs, you could request them anytime from your billing area and we will assign them to the web server a few minutes later. You can even get more IPs during the signup process and they'll be available on your hosting server as soon as it is all set and we hand it over to you. The IP upgrade is available in increments of three and you'll be able to select how many addresses you'll order and how long you'll use them, since you will be able to select the number of IPs that you will renew each month with your hosting server plan. Any IP address which is assigned to your dedicated server can be used not only for your personal content, but for any website or application which your clients may have - if you have acquired the web server with the goal to resell the disk space to third parties.
