An IP address is a unique number that identifies a website or a hosting server on the Internet, so if you have a dedicated IP, it will be employed exclusively by your websites and will not be shared with other individuals as it happens with shared hosting accounts. If you have your own hosting server, you'll have a dedicated IP, but you may require extra ones for different uses. Provided you have a web-based store, for instance, you'll need an SSL certificate for it, to ensure that the payment information your clients submit will be encrypted and safe. The same is valid in the event that you have a login form of some sort and you want the usernames and the passwords that visitors enter to be protected. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP address, which ought to be different from the one that you already have on the server. You might also need an independent IP for an application such as a VoIP server, or if you would like a slightly better overall performance for a certain website, which will influence its position in search engine results.

Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Servers

If you decide to order one of our VPS hosting plans, we shall provide you with one dedicated IP address by default and a second one 100 % free - in case you add any one of the hosting Control Panels that we offer to your order. Extra IPs can be purchased with ease in the event that you need them. The option is offered on the order page, so in the event that you need more IPs right away, we shall be able to assign them to your VPS whenever it is set up and you can use them the instant you begin using the machine. If you require them for any reason afterwards, you can order them from the billing area and they will be available in a few minutes. In this way, you can assign dedicated IP addresses not only to your own sites, but also to customers' sites provided you have started a reseller business. You'll be able to order IPs as frequently as required and renew them together with your virtual web server plan. If, eventually, you need less IPs, you shall have the opportunity to renew just those which you need, while the extra ones will be removed from your hosting server.

Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers

When you obtain one of our dedicated server packages, you'll receive three IP addresses at no additional charge and you can use them for any purpose. If you need even more IPs, you may request them at any time via your billing area and we'll assign them to the web server a couple of minutes later. You can also get more IPs during the signup process and they shall be available on your machine the moment it is set and we hand it over to you. The IP upgrade is available in increments of three and you can choose how many addresses you will order and how long you will use them, as you could select the number of IPs which you will renew every month with your web server plan. Any IP address that's assigned to your dedicated server may be used not just for your personal content, but for any website or app that your clients may have - if you have obtained the web server with the purpose to resell the disk space to third parties.
