All devices on the Web are identified by a special number called an IP address, for instance 123.123.123.123. When you have a website, the domain that you enter to open it is for your convenience, yet the server where your website files are still has an IP address. Because there are far more websites and devices than there are IPs, all the shared website hosting servers have a number of sites under the same IP, while when you use a dedicated server you will have a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you're able to get a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. One advantage would be that you may get superior search engine positions since a dedicated IP generally means a quicker loading website. Furthermore, you need such an IP when you plan to obtain an SSL certificate for your site and secure the data that your visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Hosting

In case you host your sites on our revolutionary cloud platform and you have a hosting package, you are able to add a dedicated IP to your account at any moment and assign it to any domain or subdomain with only a few clicks. This option is available in all the data centers where we provide services - Chicago (US), Coventry (UK) and Sydney (AU), so regardless of your choice during the registration process, you will be able to acquire a dedicated IP address for your sites. You can add / remove an IPas well as to keep track of the free and used ones at any moment. In case any of the IPs that you purchase will be used for an SSL certificate, you can activate the automatic configuration attribute in our SSL order wizard then our system will request & assign the IP before it installs your certificate automatically. Our versatile platform will allow you to use a dedicated IP address for a number of websites as well if it is not in use by an SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

All of the dedicated servers that we supply come with 3 dedicated IP addresses as standard and free of charge. You can employ them for any purpose depending on the content that you have on the server - a game server or a Voice-Over-IP application, an SSL certificate for a website that you host, private name servers for a reseller domain which your clients may use to redirect domain names to their hosting accounts, and many more. What's more, you can acquire additional dedicated IPs from the Upgrades part of your billing Control Panel in case you need more than the ones that come with your server. You are able to obtain the IPs in groups of three and they will be added to your dedicated server soon after you send your order, so you can use them without any delays.
