An IP address is a unique number which separates an Internet site or a server on the world-wide web, so in the event that you have a dedicated IP, it shall be used only by your sites and won't be shared with other individuals as it happens with shared website hosting accounts. In case you have your own server, you shall have a dedicated IP, but you may require additional ones for various purposes. In case you have a web-based store, for instance, you will need an SSL certificate for it, so as to ensure that the payment info which your customers submit shall be encrypted and protected. The same is valid if 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 address, which has to be different from the one which you already have on the hosting server. You could also need an independent IP for an app such as a VoIP server, or if you desire a slightly better efficiency for a certain site, which will affect its position in search engine results.
Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Web Hosting
Every single VPS web hosting package we offer features one dedicated IP address and if you add a hosting Control Panel to it, we'll give you a second one at no additional cost, so that you can use it the way you see fit. If you wish to use more IPs, you shall be able to order them with no more than two clicks at any time, since you'll discover this kind of an option both on our order page and in your billing CP. In the first case, the dedicated addresses will be available the instant the virtual server is ready, while in the second - a couple of minutes after you buy them. You'll be able to renew the IPs along with your VPS plan and use them for so long as you wish. They can be useful not simply for your own websites, but also for the Internet sites of any clients that you may have if you are using the virtual server to run an Internet hosting reseller business. There's no restriction on how frequently you can order additional IPs or on how many of them you'll be able to use with your hosting server at any time.
Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers Hosting
Each and every dedicated server that we offer features 3 dedicated IP addresses supplied totally free on top of the monthly fee for the package deal. We also provide you with the opportunity to add more IPs to your web server both when you sign up and at a later time using your billing Control Panel, so you could order the IPs whenever you need them with no restriction on the amount or on how often you get them. They could be purchased in groups of three and shall be assigned to your server immediately. You can renew them with the web hosting plan and you may decide if you will renew all of them, or a smaller number - in the event that you no longer need the rest. Every dedicated IP address allocated to your web server can be used for any purpose: for a personal website, for a software web server, or for a hosting client - in the event that you've decided to start out your own web hosting business and you're reselling accounts to other people.
