A dedicated IP address suggests that you'll have a distinctive numeric identifier on the Internet and that it will not be shared with other people's sites or apps as it happens with a shared web hosting account. There are many uses for a dedicated IP - for instance, when an SSL certificate is needed in case you have an electronic store and you need to accept online payments or when you have a login form and you want the data that users submit to be encrypted. A dedicated IP address may also be used for other apps, like a VoIP server, for example. In addition, it will give more credibility and protection to your Internet sites, since a network flood to a shared IP won't have any impact on your dedicated IP. If you host your Internet sites with us and you have your own web server, you'll be able to get one or several dedicated IP addresses with simply a couple of clicks and to use them in case you cannot use the IP provided with the web server.
Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Servers
Our Linux VPS servers include one dedicated IP address by default. A second one is available as well - if they are ordered with an Internet hosting Control Panel. In the event that you require more IPs, however, you'll be able to incorporate them with ease, whatever the plan that you've chosen. You are able to do this during the signup procedure in case you need them from the beginning or through your billing account - if you need them later on. The dedicated IPs will be assigned to your server shortly after that and you can start using them. You can renew the IPs along with the plan for as long as you plan to use them. This upgrade is incredibly useful not only for your personal content, but also when you would like to use the virtual server to run an Internet hosting reseller business, because you will be able to offer a dedicated IP to any client who wants to use one. There isn't any restriction on the number of addresses you can order or on how many times you could do that.
Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers
If you acquire one of our dedicated server solutions, you'll get three IP addresses at no additional charge and you could use them for any purpose. If you need more IPs, you may request them whenever you want via your billing area and we shall assign them to the server a few moments later. You may also get additional IPs during the signup procedure and they will be available on your web server as soon as it's ready and we hand it over to you. The IP upgrade is available in increments of three and you may choose how many addresses you will order and how long you'll use them, since you will be able to pick the number of IPs that you will renew each month with your web server plan. Any IP address which is assigned to your dedicated server can be used not only for your personal content, but for any Internet site or application your clients may have - if you have obtained the machine with the purpose to resell the disk space to third parties.
