A dedicated IP address suggests that you shall have a unique numeric identifier on the Internet and that it shall not be shared with other's websites or applications as it happens with a shared Internet hosting account. There are lots of uses for a dedicated IP - including, when an SSL certificate is required in the event that you have an online store and you need to accept online payments or in the event that you have a login form and you'd like the info that users submit to be encrypted. A dedicated IP address could also be used for other apps, such as a VoIP server, for example. Additionally, it shall provide more credibility and protection to your sites, given that a network flood to a shared IP shall not have any effect on your dedicated IP. In the event that you host your Internet sites with our company and you have your own server, you shall be able to get one or a number of dedicated IP addresses with just a couple of mouse clicks and to use them in case you cannot use the IP provided with the web server.

If you get one of our dedicated server solutions, you will get 3 IP addresses at no additional charge and you can use them for any purpose. If you need additional IPs, you could request them anytime from your billing area and we shall assign them to the web server a couple of minutes later. You may even get additional IPs during the signup process and they'll be available on your server as soon as it is all set and we hand it over to you. The IP upgrade is available in increments of 3 and you may select how many addresses you'll order and how long you shall use them, as you can choose the number of IPs that you will renew every month with your server plan. Any IP address that is assigned to your dedicated server could be used not just for your personal content, but also for any site or application which your clients may have - if you have obtained the hosting server with the goal to resell the disk space to third parties.
