An IP address is a unique number that distinguishes a site or a hosting server on the Internet, so if you have a dedicated IP, it shall be employed only by your websites and will not be shared with other people as it happens with shared web hosting accounts. In case you have your own hosting server, you'll have a dedicated IP, but you may need additional ones for various purposes. Provided you have a web-based store, for example, you will need an SSL certificate for it, so as to ensure that the payment info which your clients submit shall be encrypted and protected. The same is valid if you have a login form of some type and you wish the usernames and the passwords which visitors type in to be protected. The SSL certificate requires a dedicated IP, which needs to be different from the one that 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 functionality for a given site, which may affect its position in search engine results.

Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS

Our Linux VPS provide one dedicated IP address by default. Another one is available as well - when they are ordered with a web hosting CP. In case you require more IPs, however, you'll be able to add them easily, whatever the package that you've selected. You can do this during the signup process if you need them from the beginning or using your billing account - if you need them later. The dedicated IPs will be assigned to your server right after that and you could begin using them. You could renew the IPs together with the plan for as long as you want to use them. This upgrade is very useful not simply for your personal content, but also in case you would like to use the virtual server to run a web hosting reseller business, considering the fact that you shall be able to offer a dedicated IP to any customer who would want to use one. There isn't a restriction on how many addresses you'll be able to order or on how often you may do that.

You can also get more IPs during the signup process and they shall be available on your server the instant it's ready and we hand it over to you. The IP upgrade is available in increments of 3 and you'll be able to pick how many addresses you'll order and how long you shall use them, since you can pick the number of IPs that you will renew on a monthly basis with your server plan. Any IP address that is assigned to your dedicated server could be used not just for your personal content, but for any Internet site or application your clients may have - if you have acquired the web server with the purpose to resell the disk space to third parties.
