An IP address is a unique number which separates an Internet site or a server on the world-wide web, so if you have a dedicated IP, it will be used solely by your Internet sites and shall not be shared with other individuals as it happens with shared Internet hosting accounts. Provided you have your own web server, you shall have a dedicated IP, but you may require additional ones for a variety of purposes. If you have an Internet store, for example, you'll need an SSL certificate for it, to make sure that the payment info your clients submit will be encrypted and secure. The same is valid in case you have a login form of some type and you want the usernames and the passwords that visitors enter to be protected. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP, which needs to be different from the one which you already have on the hosting server. You might also need a separate IP for an app such as a VoIP server, or if you desire a slightly better functionality for a certain website, which may influence its position in search engine results.
Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Servers
If you choose to purchase one of our VPS service, we shall supply you with one dedicated IP address by default and a second one absolutely free - if you add any one of the hosting Control Panels we offer to your order. Additional IPs may be purchased with ease in the event that you need them. The option is offered on the order page, so if you need more IPs from the beginning, we can assign them to your VPS as soon as it's put in place and you can use them the instant you begin using the machine. If you need them for any reason afterwards, you can order them from the billing area and they'll be available within a couple of minutes. This way, you'll be able to assign dedicated IP addresses not only to your own websites, but also to customers' sites provided you've started a reseller enterprise. You could order IPs as frequently as required and renew them along with your virtual hosting server plan. If, eventually, you need less IPs, you shall have the opportunity to renew only those that you require, while the extra ones will be taken off your web server.
Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers
All dedicated service that we offer include 3 IP addresses by default and you could use them in whatever way you see fit. In the event that you need more IPs for any reason, you can add them to your server with just a few mouse clicks without any limitations as to their number or to the duration for which you'll be able to use them. This upgrade comes in increments of three and if you need the IPs straight away, you may add them to the plan during the signup process, while in case it turns out that you need more IPs at some point later, you may order them just as simply from your billing area and we'll assign them to your dedicated server several minutes later. The dedicated IPs may be renewed along with the hosting server plan on a monthly basis and you can determine if you shall renew all of them or just a few - in case you no longer require that many. You could use the IPs both for your own sites and for customer hosting accounts - if you're using the dedicated server as a web hosting reseller platform.
