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's sites or applications as it happens with a shared web hosting account. There are lots of uses for a dedicated IP - for instance, when an SSL certificate is required in case you have an electronic store and you need to accept online payments or if you have a login form and you want the info which users submit to be encrypted. A dedicated IP address could also be used for other programs, like a VoIP server, for example. Additionally, it'll supply more credibility and security to your websites, considering the fact that a network flood to a shared IP shall not have any effect on your dedicated IP. In the event that you host your sites with our company and you have your own server, you shall 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 server.
Extra Dedicated IPs in VPS Servers
Our Linux VPS web hosting service feature one dedicated IP address by default. A second one is available too - when they are ordered with a web hosting CP. In case you need more IPs, however, you will be able to include them easily, no matter the package that you have chosen. You'll be able to do this during the signup procedure in case you need them from the beginning or via your billing account - in case you need them later on. The dedicated IPs shall be assigned to your hosting server shortly after that and you could start using them. You can renew the IPs along with the plan for so long as you want to use them. This upgrade is incredibly useful not only for your personal content, but also when you wish to use the virtual server to run a web hosting reseller business, since you will be able to provide a dedicated IP to any client who wants to use one. There isn't a restriction on how many addresses you can order or on how frequently you'll be able to do that.
Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers
In case you obtain one of our dedicated server packages, you'll receive 3 IP addresses at no additional charge and you'll be able to use them for any purpose. If you need more IPs, you'll be able to request them at any time through your billing area and we shall assign them to the hosting server a few moments later. You may even get more IPs during the signup process and they'll be available on your web server the minute it's set and we hand it over to you. The IP upgrade is available in increments of 3 and you could pick how many addresses you will order and how long you shall use them, as you will be able to pick the number of IPs that you'll renew on a monthly basis with your server plan. Any IP address that's assigned to your dedicated server may be used not just for your personal content, but also for any Internet site or application your customers may have - if you have obtained the hosting server with the intent to resell the disk space to third parties.
