An IP address is a unique number that identifies a website or a web server on the world-wide web, so in the event that you have a dedicated IP, it shall be used solely by your websites and will not be shared with other individuals as it happens with shared website hosting accounts. Provided you have your own server, you shall have a dedicated IP, but you may need additional ones for a variety of uses. If you have an online store, for example, you'll need an SSL certificate for it, so as to make certain that the payment information which your customers submit shall be encrypted and safe. The same is valid if you have a login form of some kind and you wish the usernames and the passwords that visitors type in to be secured. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP, which needs to be different from the one which you already have on the server. You might also need an independent IP for an app such as a VoIP server, or if you would like a slightly better efficiency for a certain site, which shall influence its position in search engine results.

Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers

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