All devices on the World Wide Web are recognized by a unique number called an IP address, for example 123.123.123.123. When you have a website, the domain that you enter to be able to load it is to save you time, but the server where your site files are still has an IP. Due to the fact that there are many more websites and devices than there are IP addresses, all shared hosting servers have a number of websites under the very same IP, while when you use a dedicated server you'll have a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you're able to acquire a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. One benefit would be that you will get improved search engine positions as a dedicated IP usually means a faster loading site. Furthermore, you need such an IP if you would like to acquire an SSL certificate for your site and secure the data that your visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting

In case you host your websites on our state-of-the-art cloud platform and you have a shared hosting plan, you're able to add a dedicated IP to your account at any time and assign it to any domain or subdomain with just a few clicks. The aforementioned option is accessible in all the data centers where we offer services - Chicago (US), Coventry (UK) and Sydney (AU), so regardless of your choice throughout the registration process, you can get a dedicated IP for your sites. You can add or 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 enable 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 various websites as well if it's not in use by an SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

Since it is possible to run more or less anything on a dedicated server, all of our plans feature 3 dedicated IP addresses included by default. In case you would like to launch some server software or to install an SSL certificate for a site that you host on the machine, you will be able to use the IPs which we supply for free. You can also register child name servers with one or two of the IPs for any domain name that you have registered through our company or any place else then employ them to point other domains to the dedicated server. If you own a web hosting company, for example, this option will contribute to your credibility as an independent provider. If you need more IP addresses than the three our packages feature, you'll be able to buy extra ones in increments of three either throughout the signup process or through your billing Control Panel at any time.
