All devices on the World Wide Web are recognized by a specific number called an IP address, such as 123.123.123.123. In case you have a website, the domain name that you enter to access it is for your convenience, but the server where your site files are still has an IP address. Due to the fact that there are many more sites and devices than there're IPs, all the shared website hosting servers have a number of websites under an identical IP, while when you use a dedicated server you'll have a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you'll be able to obtain a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. An advantage would be that you'll have improved search engine rankings since a dedicated IP often means a faster loading website. In addition, you need such an IP when you would like to purchase an SSL certificate for your website and shield the data that visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Website Hosting

In case you host your sites on our cutting-edge cloud platform and you have a shared website hosting plan, you will be able to add a dedicated IP to your account at any moment and assign it to any domain or subdomain with just a couple of clicks. This option is accessible in all data center facilities where we offer 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 for your sites. You'll be able to add or remove an IPas well as to keep track of the free and used ones at any moment. If any of the IPs that you buy will be used for an SSL certificate, you may activate the automatic configuration feature in our SSL order wizard then our system will request & assign the IP before it sets up the certificate automatically. Our adaptable platform will allow you to use a dedicated IP address for various sites as well if it is not in use by an SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

Since all of our dedicated servers come with 3 dedicated IP addresses included in the plans by default, we will give you a head start in case you'd like to run any app that needs this kind of an IP. We supply them for free and you are able to use them for as long as you use your server for anything you'd like - child name servers for any domain name which you host, an SSL certificate for any site on the server, a software server (online games, VOIP), etcetera. Through the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you'll obtain to control renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you can also get more dedicated IP addresses in groups of three at any time. They will be assigned to your server very quickly, so you can start using them for your sites and web-based applications right away.
