An IP address is a unique number that identifies a site or a server on the world-wide web, so if you have a dedicated IP, it shall be employed just by your websites and shall not be shared with others 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 extra ones for different uses. If you have a web-based store, for example, you'll need an SSL certificate for it, so as to make sure that the payment information 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 want the usernames and the passwords which visitors enter to be protected. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP address, which should be different from the one that you already have on the machine. You could also need an individual IP for an application such as a VoIP server, or if you desire a slightly better efficiency for a given website, which may affect its position in search engine results.
Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Servers
If you choose to purchase one of our Linux VPS servers, we will give you one dedicated IP address by default and a second one free of charge - in the event that you add any one of the hosting Control Panels which we offer to your order. Some other IPs can be purchased with ease in case you need them. The option is available on the order page, so if you require more IPs from the beginning, we can assign them to your VPS the instant it's set up and you can use them the instant you begin using the hosting server. If you require them for any reason afterwards, you can order them from the billing area and they will be available in a matter of minutes. Thus, you'll be able to assign dedicated IP addresses not just to your own Internet sites, but also to clients' sites provided you've launched a reseller business. You'll be able to order IPs as often as needed and renew them along with your virtual server plan. If, eventually, you require less IPs, you will have the opportunity to renew only those that you need, while the extra ones will be taken off your machine.
Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers
Every single dedicated server we offer comes with three dedicated IP addresses provided 100 % free on top of the monthly fee for the package. We also supply you with the chance to add more IPs to your web server both when you sign up and at a later time via your billing Control Panel, so you could order the IPs whenever you need them with no limit on the amount or on how often you get them. They could be purchased in groups of 3 and will be assigned to your web server immediately. You may renew them with the web hosting plan and you could decide if you'll renew all of them, or a smaller amount - in case you no longer need the rest. Each and every dedicated IP address allotted to your web server may be used for any purpose: for a personal Internet site, for a software web server, or for a hosting customer - in the event that you've decided to launch your own web hosting enterprise and you're reselling accounts to other people.
