An IP address is a unique number that identifies an Internet site or a hosting server on the world-wide web, so in the event that you have a dedicated IP, it'll be employed just by your sites and will not be shared with other individuals as it happens with shared hosting accounts. Provided you have your own hosting server, you'll have a dedicated IP, but you may need extra ones for different purposes. In case you have an Internet store, for instance, you'll need an SSL certificate for it, so as to ensure that the payment information your clients submit shall be encrypted and protected. The same is valid in the event that you have a login form of some sort and you want the usernames and the passwords which visitors type in to be protected. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP, which should be different from the one that you already have on the server. You might also need a separate IP for an app such as a VoIP server, or if you would like a slightly better performance for a given Internet site, which will influence its position in search engine results.

Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Web Hosting

We supply 3 totally free dedicated IP addresses with every dedicated server which we offer, but if you need more, you could order them easily and they'll be assigned to your server without delay. The upgrade can be purchased both on our order page and inside the billing Control Panel, so you can get additional IPs whenever you require them - in the beginning or anytime later on. You can order the upgrade in increments of three and include as many IP addresses as you need at any given time. You'll be able to renew only the IPs that you need along with the Internet hosting plan, so if, eventually, you need less IPs, you could simply renew those you need and the other ones will be removed from your server. With our upgrade, you'll be able to use a dedicated address not only for your sites and apps, but also for your clients’ Internet sites and applications - in the event that you're using the server to run an Internet hosting reseller business. Any IP on top of the default 3 IPs can be used for so long as you require it.
