An IP address is a unique number which distinguishes a site or a web server on the Internet, so in the event that you have a dedicated IP, it shall be employed only by your sites and won't be shared with other individuals as it happens with shared hosting accounts. Provided you have your own server, you will have a dedicated IP, but you may need extra ones for many different uses. If you have an Internet store, for example, you will need an SSL certificate for it, in order to ensure that the payment information your clients submit will be encrypted and safe. The same is valid if you have a login form of some type and you want the usernames and the passwords that visitors enter to be protected. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP, which has to be different from the one that you already have on the machine. You might also need an independent IP for an app such as a VoIP server, or if you would like a slightly better overall performance for a particular Internet site, which shall influence its position in search engine results.

Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Hosting

All Linux dedicated hosting that we offer come with three IP addresses by default and you could use them in any way you see fit. In case you need 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 period for which you shall be able to use them. This upgrade comes in increments of three and if you need the IPs right away, you'll be able to add them to the package during the signup procedure, while if it turns out that you need more IPs at some point later on, you may order them just as easily through your billing area and we'll assign them to your dedicated server a couple of minutes later. The dedicated IPs can be renewed along with the hosting server plan on a monthly basis and you could determine if you shall renew all of them or only a few - in case you no longer require that many. You can use the IPs both for your own Internet sites and for client hosting accounts - provided you're using the dedicated server as an Internet hosting reseller platform.
