An IP address is a unique number that separates a site or a server on the world-wide web, so in the event that you have a dedicated IP, it'll be employed exclusively by your sites and won't be shared with other people as it happens with shared hosting accounts. Provided you have your own hosting server, you'll have a dedicated IP, but you may need additional ones for many different purposes. In case you have an electronic store, for instance, you shall need an SSL certificate for it, so as to make sure that the payment information that your customers submit shall be encrypted and safe. The same is valid if you have a login form of some sort and you want the usernames and the passwords that visitors type in to be secured. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP, which should be different from the one that you already have on the hosting server. You might also need a separate IP for an application such as a VoIP server, or if you desire a slightly better performance for a certain website, which shall influence its position in search engine results.
Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers Hosting
We supply three free dedicated IP addresses with each and every dedicated server that we offer, but in case you require more, you could order them with ease and they shall be assigned to your server immediately. The upgrade can be purchased both on our order page and within the billing Control Panel, so you'll be able to get additional IPs whenever you need them - in the beginning or at any time afterwards. You can order the upgrade in increments of three and add as many IP addresses as you require at any time. You can renew only the IPs which you want along with the website hosting plan, so if, at some point, you need less IPs, you may simply renew those you need and the other ones will be removed from your web server. With our upgrade, you could use a dedicated address not just for your sites and applications, but also for your clients’ Internet sites and apps - if you are using the server to run a hosting reseller enterprise. Any IP on top of the default three IPs can be used for as long as you need it.
