An IP address is a unique number which separates a site or a hosting server on the world-wide web, so in the event that you have a dedicated IP, it shall be used exclusively by your websites and shall not be shared with other individuals as it happens with shared Internet hosting accounts. If you have your own server, you shall have a dedicated IP, but you may need additional ones for different uses. Provided you have an electronic store, for instance, you will need an SSL certificate for it, in order to make certain that the payment information which your customers submit will be encrypted and protected. The same is valid in case you have a login form of some type and you want the usernames and the passwords which visitors type in to be protected. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP, which has to be different from the one that you already have on the machine. You may also need a separate IP for an application such as a VoIP server, or if you need a slightly better efficiency for a particular website, which shall affect its position in search engine results.
Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS
Every single VPS package that we supply includes 1 dedicated IP address and if you add a hosting CP to it, we shall provide you with a second one at no additional cost, so you can use it as you see fit. If you wish to use more IPs, you'll be able to order them with only a couple of clicks at any time, since you'll find this type of an option both on our order page and inside your billing Control Panel. In the first case, the dedicated addresses shall be available the instant the virtual server is set, while in the second - a few minutes after you buy them. You can renew the IPs along with your VPS plan and use them for as long as you need. They can prove useful not only for your own sites, but also for the websites of any clients which you may have in case you're using the virtual server to run a hosting reseller business. There isn't a limit on how frequently you could order additional IPs or on how many of them you could use with your machine at any given time.
Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Hosting
Every dedicated server which we offer features 3 dedicated IP addresses supplied at no extra cost on top of the monthly fee for the plan. We also supply you with the opportunity to add more IPs to your hosting server both when you sign up and at a later time through your billing CP, so you'll be able to order the IPs whenever you require them without a limit on the amount or on how frequently you get them. They could be purchased in groups of three and shall be assigned to your server instantly. You'll be able to renew them with the Internet hosting plan and you may choose if you will renew all of them, or a smaller number - if you no longer require the rest. Each and every dedicated IP address assigned to your web server could be used for any purpose: for a personal site, for a software server, or for a hosting customer - if you've decided to start your own Internet hosting business and you're reselling accounts to other people.
