An IP address is a unique number that identifies an Internet site or a web server on the world-wide web, so in the event that you have a dedicated IP, it will be used just by your sites and will not be shared with other individuals as it happens with shared website hosting accounts. Provided you have your own server, you'll have a dedicated IP, but you may require extra ones for a variety of uses. In case you have an Internet store, for example, you shall need an SSL certificate for it, so as to make certain that the payment information your clients submit will be encrypted and protected. The same is valid in the event that you have a login form of some kind and you would like the usernames and the passwords that visitors type in to be secured. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP, which ought to be different from the one that you already have on the web server. You could 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 may influence its position in search engine results.
Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Servers
Our Linux VPS plans include one dedicated IP address by default. A second one is available also - in case they are ordered with a hosting Control Panel. In case you need more IPs, however, you shall be able to include them effortlessly, whatever the plan which you have picked. You can do this during the signup procedure if you need them from the beginning or via your billing account - in case you need them later. The dedicated IPs will be assigned to your hosting server shortly after that and you could start using them. You may renew the IPs along with the plan for as long as you intend to use them. This upgrade is very useful not just for your personal content, but also if you would like to use the virtual server to run an Internet hosting reseller business, considering the fact that you'll be able to provide a dedicated IP to every customer who would want to use one. There isn't any restriction on how many addresses you can order or on how often you could do that.
Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers
Every single dedicated server which we offer includes three dedicated IP addresses supplied totally free on top of the monthly fee for the plan. We also give you the chance to add more IPs to your web server both when you sign up and at a later time using your billing CP, so you could order the IPs whenever you require them with no limit on the amount or on how often you get them. They may be purchased in groups of three and will be assigned to your web server instantly. You could renew them with the web hosting plan and you could decide if you will renew all of them, or a smaller number - in case you no longer require the rest. Each and every dedicated IP address allotted to your web server could be used for any purpose: for a personal Internet site, for a software hosting server, or for a hosting customer - if you've decided to start your own Internet hosting enterprise and you are reselling accounts to other people.
