An IP address is a unique number that distinguishes a site or a hosting server on the world-wide web, so if you have a dedicated IP, it shall be used only by your sites and will not be shared with other people as it happens with shared web hosting accounts. Provided you have your own web server, you shall have a dedicated IP, but you may require additional ones for various uses. Provided you have an electronic store, for instance, you shall need an SSL certificate for it, in order to ensure that the payment info that your customers submit shall be encrypted and protected. The same is valid in case you have a login form of some kind and you want the usernames and the passwords which visitors type in to be protected. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP address, which ought to be different from the one which you already have on the machine. You might also need an independent IP for an app such as a VoIP server, or if you want a slightly better functionality for a given Internet site, which will influence its position in search engine results.

Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers

All dedicated web hosting plans we offer feature 3 IP addresses by default and you'll be able to use them in any way you see fit. In case you need even more IPs for any reason, you can add them to your web server with a few clicks without limitations as to their number or to the length of time for which you will be able to employ them. This upgrade comes in increments of three and in the event that you need the IPs right away, you can add them to the package deal during the signup procedure, while in case it turns out that you require more IPs at some point afterwards, you may order them just as easily through your billing area and we'll assign them to your dedicated server a few moments later. The dedicated IPs can be renewed together with the server plan on a monthly basis and you'll be able to choose if you will renew all of them or simply a few - in case you no longer require that many. You'll be able to use the IPs both for your own websites and for customer hosting accounts - provided you're using the dedicated server as a web hosting reseller platform.
