An IP address is a unique number which separates a website or a web server on the Internet, so if you have a dedicated IP, it'll be used exclusively by your Internet sites and won't be shared with others as it happens with shared website hosting accounts. Provided you have your own hosting server, you'll have a dedicated IP, but you may require additional ones for many different uses. Provided you have an electronic store, for example, you will need an SSL certificate for it, so as to make sure that the payment info your clients submit shall be encrypted and secure. The same is valid in the event that you have a login form of some sort and you would like the usernames and the passwords that visitors type in to be secured. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP, which has to be different from the one that you already have on the hosting server. You could also need an individual IP for an application such as a VoIP server, or if you desire a slightly better efficiency for a particular Internet site, which will influence its position in search engine results.
Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Hosting
Each VPS hosting service we provide features one dedicated IP address and if you add an Internet hosting Control Panel to it, we will provide you with a second one at no additional cost, so that you can use it the way you see fit. If you want to use more IPs, you will be able to order them with just a couple of mouse clicks anytime, as you will locate this kind of an option both on our order page and within your billing CP. In the first case, the dedicated addresses will be available as soon as the virtual server is ready, while in the second - a few minutes after you buy them. You could renew the IPs along with your VPS plan and use them for as long as you need. They can be useful not simply for your own Internet sites, but also for the websites of any clients that you might have in case you're using the virtual server to run an Internet hosting reseller business. There is no limitation on how many times you could order additional IPs or on the amount of of them you can use with your web server at any moment.
Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Web Hosting
Each dedicated server we offer includes 3 dedicated IP addresses supplied at no extra cost on top of the monthly fee for the package. We also give you the chance to add more IPs to your hosting server both when you sign up and at a later time via your billing CP, so you could order the IPs whenever you require them without a restriction on the amount or on how often you get them. They may be purchased in groups of 3 and shall be assigned to your web server immediately. You could renew them with the Internet hosting plan and you can choose if you will renew all of them, or a smaller number - in the event that you no longer require the rest. Each and every dedicated IP address allocated to your web server could be used for any purpose: for a personal site, for a software server, or for a hosting customer - if you have decided to start off your own Internet hosting enterprise and you are reselling accounts to other people.
