An IP address is a unique number which distinguishes an Internet site or a hosting server on the Internet, so if you have a dedicated IP, it'll be employed only by your sites and will not be shared with other individuals as it happens with shared hosting accounts. If you have your own hosting server, you shall have a dedicated IP, but you may need extra ones for various purposes. Provided you have an Internet store, for example, you will need an SSL certificate for it, in order to make certain that the payment information your clients submit shall be encrypted and safe. The same is valid if you have a login form of some type and you wish the usernames and the passwords which visitors input to be secured. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP address, which should be different from the one that you already have on the server. You may also need an individual IP for an application such as a VoIP server, or if you desire a slightly better overall performance for a certain website, which shall affect its position in search engine results.
Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Hosting
Each and every VPS hosting service that we supply features 1 dedicated IP address and if you add an Internet hosting CP to it, we will give you a second one at no additional cost, so you can use it the way you see fit. If you want to use more IPs, you shall be able to order them with only two mouse clicks at any time, since you'll discover such an option both on our order page and inside 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 moments after you buy them. You can renew the IPs together with your VPS plan and use them for as long as you wish. They can be useful not only for your own sites, but also for the sites of any customers that you could have in case you are using the virtual server to run a hosting reseller business. There's no limit on how many times you could order additional IPs or on how many of them you'll be able to use with your machine at any time.
Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Web Hosting
Every dedicated server that we offer features 3 dedicated IP addresses provided absolutely free on top of the monthly fee for the plan. 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 through your billing Control Panel, so you could order the IPs whenever you require them with no limit on the number or on how often you get them. They can 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 can decide if you will renew all of them, or a smaller number - in case you no longer require the rest. Every dedicated IP address allotted to your web server may be used for any purpose: for a personal site, for a software server, or for a hosting customer - if you have decided to launch your own Internet hosting business and you're reselling accounts to other people.
