An IP address is a unique number which distinguishes an Internet site or a web server on the world-wide web, so if you have a dedicated IP, it'll be employed exclusively by your websites and shall not be shared with others as it happens with shared website hosting accounts. In case you have your own hosting server, you'll have a dedicated IP, but you may need extra ones for many different uses. In case you have an Internet store, for example, you will need an SSL certificate for it, in order to ensure that the payment information which your customers submit will be encrypted and secure. The same is valid in case you have a login form of some kind and you would like the usernames and the passwords which visitors type in to be protected. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP address, which needs to be different from the one that you already have on the hosting server. You may also need a separate IP for an application such as a VoIP server, or if you desire a slightly better efficiency for a certain website, which will affect its position in search engine results.

Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Hosting

Every VPS hosting service that we supply includes 1 dedicated IP address and if you add an Internet hosting Control Panel to it, we will provide you with a second one at no additional cost, so you can use it the way you see fit. If you wish to use more IPs, you'll be able to order them with just a couple of clicks anytime, since you'll discover this type of an option both on our order page and within your billing CP. In the first case, the dedicated addresses will be available the moment the virtual server is prepared, while in the second - a few minutes after you purchase them. You could renew the IPs together with your VPS plan and use them for as long as you want. They can come in handy not just for your own Internet sites, but also for the websites of any customers which you might have in case you're using the virtual server to run a web hosting reseller business. There isn't any restriction on how many times you'll be able to order additional IPs or on the amount of of them you could use with your web server at any moment.

Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Web Hosting

In case you obtain one of our dedicated server packages, you'll receive 3 IP addresses at no additional charge and you can use them for any purpose. If you need additional IPs, you could request them whenever you want from your billing area and we will assign them to the hosting server a few minutes later. You may even get additional IPs during the signup process and they'll be available on your server as soon as it's ready and we hand it over to you. The IP upgrade is available in increments of three and you could choose how many addresses you will order and how long you will use them, as you will be able to pick the number of IPs which you will renew on a monthly basis with your server plan. Any IP address that's assigned to your dedicated server could be used not only for your personal content, but also for any site or app your customers may have - if you have acquired the hosting server with the intent to resell the disk space to third parties.
