A dedicated IP address means that you'll have a distinctive numeric identifier on the Internet and that it shall not be shared with other people's sites or applications as it happens with a shared web hosting account. There are lots of uses for a dedicated IP - for example, when an SSL certificate is required in the event that you have an e-store and you would like to accept online payments or in the event that you have a login form and you would like the info which users submit to be encrypted. A dedicated IP address may also be used for other apps, such as a VoIP server, for instance. Moreover, it shall offer more credibility and protection to your Internet sites, considering the fact that a network flood to a shared IP will not have any impact on your dedicated IP. In case you host your sites with our company and you have your own web server, you will be able to get one or several dedicated IP addresses with simply a couple of mouse clicks and to use them in case you cannot use the IP that comes with the web server.
Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Servers
If you order one of our VPS web hosting plans, we shall give you one dedicated IP address by default and a second one at no extra cost - if you add any of the hosting Control Panels we offer to your order. Additional IPs may be purchased with ease in the event that you need them. The option is available on the order page, so in case you need more IPs right away, we can assign them to your VPS as soon as it is set up and you can use them the moment you begin using the web server. If you require them for any reason later, you can order them through the billing area and they will be available in a few minutes. That way, you can assign dedicated IP addresses not just to your own websites, but also to customers' sites provided you've started out a reseller business. You can order IPs as often as needed and renew them together with your virtual web server plan. If, eventually, you need less IPs, you'll have the opportunity to renew only those that you require, while the extra ones shall be taken off your server.
Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers
When you get one of our dedicated server packages, you'll get three IP addresses at no additional charge and you may use them for any purpose. If you require even more IPs, you'll be able to request them anytime through your billing area and we'll assign them to the server a few moments later. You may also get more IPs during the signup process and they shall be available on your machine the minute it's all set and we hand it over to you. The IP upgrade is available in increments of three and you'll be able to pick how many addresses you'll order and how long you'll use them, since you can choose the number of IPs that you will renew every month with your hosting server plan. Any IP address which is assigned to your dedicated server can be used not only for your personal content, but also for any website or app that your clients may have - if you have purchased the hosting server with the aim to resell the disk space to third parties.
