An IP address is a unique number that separates a website or a server on the world-wide web, so in the event that you have a dedicated IP, it shall be used just by your sites and will not be shared with other individuals as it happens with shared hosting accounts. If you have your own server, you'll have a dedicated IP, but you may need additional ones for many different purposes. In case you have an Internet store, for instance, you shall need an SSL certificate for it, to make sure that the payment info which your customers submit will be encrypted and secure. The same is valid in case you have a login form of some type and you want 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 which you already have on the machine. You might also need an independent IP for an application such as a VoIP server, or if you want a slightly better efficiency for a given site, which will influence its position in search engine results.
Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Hosting
We provide 3 free dedicated IP addresses with every single dedicated server which we offer, but if you require more, you can order them effortlessly and they will be assigned to your web server without delay. The upgrade can be acquired both on our order page and in the billing Control Panel, so you can get additional IPs whenever you need them - in the very beginning or anytime afterwards. You could order the upgrade in increments of three and add as many IP addresses as you need at any time. You can renew only the IPs which you want along with the hosting plan, so if, at one point, you need less IPs, you can simply renew those which you need and the other ones will be removed from your server. With our upgrade, you can use a dedicated address not just for your sites and apps, but also for your clients’ sites and apps - if you are using the server to run an Internet hosting reseller business. Any IP on top of the default three IPs can be employed for as long as you need it.
