An IP address is a unique number which distinguishes a website or a hosting server on the world-wide web, so if you have a dedicated IP, it'll be employed exclusively by your sites and shall not be shared with others as it happens with shared website hosting accounts. If you have your own web server, you shall have a dedicated IP, but you may require extra ones for many different purposes. Provided you have an electronic store, for instance, you will need an SSL certificate for it, to make sure that the payment info that your customers submit shall be encrypted and protected. The same is valid in the event that you have a login form of some kind and you want the usernames and the passwords that visitors enter to be protected. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP, which should be different from the one which you already have on the web server. You might also need a separate IP for an app such as a VoIP server, or if you would like a slightly better overall performance for a certain site, which shall affect its position in search engine results.
Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Servers
If you decide to order one of our VPS servers, we shall provide you with one dedicated IP address by default and a second one 100 % free - in case you add any of the hosting Control Panels that we offer to your order. Extra IPs may be purchased with ease in case you need them. The option is provided on the order page, so in case you need more IPs from the start, we shall be able to assign them to your VPS whenever it is put in place and you can use them the second you begin using the machine. If you need them for any reason later, you can order them through the billing area and they'll be available in a couple of minutes. In this way, you'll be able to assign dedicated IP addresses not just to your own sites, but also to customers' websites provided you've launched a reseller business. You'll be able to order IPs as frequently as needed 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 need, while the extra ones will be taken off your server.
Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers
All dedicated servers we offer feature three IP addresses by default and you may use them in any way you see fit. In the event that you require even more IPs for any reason, you could add them to your hosting server with several mouse clicks without limitations as to their number or the length of time for which you will be able to employ them. This upgrade comes in increments of three and if you require 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 afterwards, you could order them just as simply through your billing area and we shall assign them to your dedicated server a few minutes later. The dedicated IPs could be renewed along with the web server plan on a monthly basis and you'll be able to decide if you will renew all of them or simply a few - in case you no longer need that many. You could use the IPs both for your own websites and for customer hosting accounts - provided you're using the dedicated server as a hosting reseller platform.
