An IP address is a unique number that distinguishes a website or a server on the Internet, so in the event that you have a dedicated IP, it'll be employed just by your websites and will not be shared with others as it happens with shared Internet hosting accounts. If you have your own web server, you shall have a dedicated IP, but you may need additional ones for various 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 which your clients submit will be encrypted and protected. The same is valid in the event that you have a login form of some type and you want the usernames and the passwords which visitors type in to be secured. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP, 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 desire a slightly better efficiency for a certain site, which shall affect its position in search engine results.
Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Servers
Every single VPS server plan we provide includes one dedicated IP address and if you add a web hosting CP to it, we will give you a second one at no additional cost, so you can use it as you see fit. If you need to use more IPs, you will be able to order them with just a couple of clicks anytime, as you will discover such an option both on our order page and in your billing Control Panel. In the first case, the dedicated addresses will be available as soon as the virtual server is prepared, while in the second - a few moments after you purchase them. You can renew the IPs together with your VPS plan and use them for so long as you desire. They can be useful not just for your own websites, but also for the sites of any clients which you might have in the event that you are using the virtual server to run an Internet hosting reseller business. There's no limit on how often you'll be able to order additional IPs or on the amount of of them you'll be able to use with your web server at any given time.
Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers
All dedicated web hosting plans we offer include three IP addresses by default and you could use them in whatever way you see fit. In the event that you require even more IPs for any reason, you can add them to your web server with a couple of mouse clicks with no limitations as to their number or to the duration for which you shall be able to employ them. This upgrade comes in increments of three and in case you require the IPs right from the start, you'll be able to add them to the plan during the signup process, while in the event that it turns out that you need more IPs at some point later, you could order them just as quickly through your billing area and we will assign them to your dedicated server a few moments later. The dedicated IPs can be renewed together with the web server plan on a monthly basis and you could determine if you shall renew all of them or just a few - in the event that you no longer need that many. You can use the IPs both for your own sites and for client hosting accounts - provided you're using the dedicated server as an Internet hosting reseller platform.
