An IP address is a unique number that identifies an Internet site or a hosting server on the Internet, so in the event that you have a dedicated IP, it shall be employed just by your websites and won't be shared with others as it happens with shared web hosting accounts. Provided you have your own web server, you'll have a dedicated IP, but you may need additional ones for many different purposes. Provided you have a web-based store, for instance, you will need an SSL certificate for it, to make certain that the payment info your customers submit will be encrypted and protected. The same is valid in the event that you have a login form of some kind and you would like the usernames and the passwords that visitors input to be protected. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP address, which ought to be different from the one which you already have on the machine. You might also need a separate IP for an app such as a VoIP server, or if you would like a slightly better efficiency for a given website, which will affect its position in search engine results.
Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Servers
Our VPS hosting plans come with one dedicated IP address by default. Another one is available also - when they are ordered with an Internet hosting CP. If you require more IPs, however, you will be able to include them with ease, whatever the plan that you have picked. You can do this during the signup process if you need them from the very beginning or using your billing account - if you need them later on. The dedicated IPs shall be assigned to your hosting server soon after that and you'll be able to begin using them. You can renew the IPs along with the plan for as long as you plan to use them. This upgrade is extremely useful not only for your personal content, but also in case you wish to use the virtual server to run an Internet hosting reseller business, because you will be able to offer a dedicated IP to every customer who would like to use one. There's no restriction on the number of addresses you could order or on how many times you may do that.
Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers
We provide three totally free dedicated IP addresses with each and every dedicated server that we offer, but if you need more, you'll be able to order them with ease and they'll be assigned to your web server at once. The upgrade can be acquired both on our order page and inside the billing CP, so you could get additional IPs whenever you need them - in the beginning or at any time afterwards. You could order the upgrade in increments of three and include as many IP addresses as you want at any moment. You can renew only the IPs which you need together with the hosting plan, so if, sooner or later, you need less IPs, you could simply renew those which you need and the other ones shall be removed from your server. With our upgrade, you could use a dedicated address not just for your websites and apps, but also for your clients’ websites and apps - if you're using the machine to run a web hosting reseller company. Any IP on top of the default 3 IPs may be employed for so long as you need it.
