An IP address is a unique number that identifies a site or a web server on the Internet, so if you have a dedicated IP, it'll be used only by your websites and shall not be shared with other people 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 different uses. In case you have a web-based store, for example, you'll need an SSL certificate for it, in order to make sure that the payment information which your clients submit shall be encrypted and protected. The same is valid if you have a login form of some kind and you wish the usernames and the passwords which visitors type in to be secured. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP address, which has to be different from the one that you already have on the server. You might also need an independent IP for an app such as a VoIP server, or if you want a slightly better performance for a given website, which may affect its position in search engine results.
Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Web Hosting
Each VPS web hosting package which we supply includes 1 dedicated IP address and if you add a hosting Control Panel to it, we'll provide you with a second one at no additional cost, so that you can use it as you see fit. If you need to use more IPs, you will be able to order them with just two clicks whenever you want, since you'll locate this type of an option both on our order page and in your billing Control Panel. In the first case, the dedicated addresses will be available the instant the virtual server is prepared, while in the second - a couple of minutes after you buy them. You'll be able to renew the IPs together with your VPS plan and use them for so long as you wish. They can prove useful not just for your own Internet sites, but also for the websites of any clients that you might have in case you are using the virtual server to run a hosting reseller business. There isn't a restriction on how frequently you could 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 Servers Hosting
All Linux dedicated servers hosting which we offer come with 3 IP addresses by default and you may use them in any way you see fit. If you require additional IPs for any reason, you can add them to your web server with several clicks without any limitations as to their number or to the duration for which you shall be able to use them. This upgrade comes in increments of three and in case you need the IPs straight away, you could add them to the package deal during the signup process, while in case it turns out that you need more IPs at some point later, you can order them just as effortlessly through your billing area and we shall assign them to your dedicated server a few minutes later. The dedicated IPs may be renewed together with the hosting server plan on a monthly basis and you'll be able to choose if you shall renew all of them or just a few - in the event that you no longer need that many. You could use the IPs both for your own sites and for client hosting accounts - if you are using the dedicated server as an Internet hosting reseller platform.
