A dedicated IP address suggests that you'll have a unique numeric identifier on the Internet and that it won't be shared with other people's Internet sites or applications as it happens with a shared web hosting account. There are many uses for a dedicated IP - including, when an SSL certificate is needed in case you have a web-based store and you would like to accept online payments or in the event that you have a login form and you want the information that users submit to be encrypted. A dedicated IP address can also be used for other applications, like a VoIP server, for example. Moreover, it will supply more credibility and protection to your sites, considering the fact that a network flood to a shared IP won't have any impact on your dedicated IP. In case you host your sites with us and you have your own web server, you'll be able to get one or a number of dedicated IP addresses with simply a couple of mouse clicks and to use them just in case you cannot use the IP that comes with the web server.
Extra Dedicated IPs in Dedicated Servers
In case you get one of our dedicated server plans, you'll receive 3 IP addresses at no additional charge and you can use them for any purpose. If you need even more IPs, you can request them whenever you want from your billing area and we shall assign them to the web server a few minutes later. You may also get more IPs during the signup process and they shall be available on your hosting server as soon as it's set and we hand it over to you. The IP upgrade is available in increments of 3 and you could decide how many addresses you'll order and how long you'll use them, as you could choose the number of IPs that you will renew on a monthly basis with your hosting server plan. Any IP address which is assigned to your dedicated server may be used not just for your personal content, but also for any website or application your customers may have - if you have bought the web server with the intention to resell the disk space to third parties.
