An IP address is a unique number which separates an Internet site or a web server on the world-wide web, so in the event that you have a dedicated IP, it shall be employed only by your sites and shall not be shared with other individuals as it happens with shared website hosting accounts. If you have your own hosting server, you shall have a dedicated IP, but you may require extra ones for a variety of uses. Provided you have an electronic store, for example, you will need an SSL certificate for it, to make certain that the payment information which your customers submit will be encrypted and protected. The same is valid if you have a login form of some sort and you want the usernames and the passwords which visitors input to be secured. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP, which should be different from the one which you already have on the server. You could also need an individual IP for an app such as a VoIP server, or if you want a slightly better performance for a given website, which will influence its position in search engine results.

Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers

All dedicated servers we offer feature three IP addresses by default and you may use them in any way you see fit. In the event that you require even more IPs for any reason, you can add them to your hosting server with several mouse clicks without limits as to their number or the length of time for which you will be able to employ them. This upgrade comes in increments of three and if you need the IPs right away, you could add them to the plan during the signup process, while in case it turns out that you need more IPs at some point later, you'll be able to order them just as simply via your billing area and we'll assign them to your dedicated server a few moments later. The dedicated IPs could be renewed together with the web server plan on a monthly basis and you'll be able to determine if you shall renew all of them or just a few - in the event that you no longer need that many. You may use the IPs both for your own sites and for customer hosting accounts - if you're using the dedicated server as a web hosting reseller platform.
