An IP address is a unique number that distinguishes a website or a server on the Internet, so if you have a dedicated IP, it'll be employed just by your Internet sites and shall not be shared with other individuals as it happens with shared Internet hosting accounts. Provided you have your own web server, you will have a dedicated IP, but you may need extra ones for different purposes. Provided you have an electronic store, for example, you'll need an SSL certificate for it, so as to make certain that the payment information that your customers submit will be encrypted and secure. The same is valid in case you have a login form of some type and you would like the usernames and the passwords which visitors input to be protected. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP, which should be different from the one that you already have on the machine. You could also need an individual IP for an application such as a VoIP server, or if you desire a slightly better functionality for a given site, which will influence its position in search engine results.

Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers

All dedicated web hosting plans we offer include 3 IP addresses by default and you can use them in whatever way you see fit. In the event that you need even more IPs for any reason, you could add them to your web server with just a few mouse clicks without limits as to their number or to the duration for which you will be able to employ them. This upgrade comes in increments of three and if you require the IPs right from the start, you may add them to the package deal during the signup process, while if it turns out that you need more IPs at some point later on, you can order them just as easily via your billing area and we shall assign them to your dedicated server a few minutes later. The dedicated IPs can be renewed along with the web server plan on a monthly basis and you can determine if you shall renew all of them or simply a few - in case you no longer need that many. You could use the IPs both for your own sites and for customer hosting accounts - provided you're using the dedicated server as a hosting reseller platform.
