All devices on the World Wide Web are identified by a special number called an IP address, such as 123.123.123.123. In case you have a site, the domain that you enter to access it is for your convenience, however the server where your website files are still has an IP address. As there're far more sites and devices than there are IPs, all shared hosting servers have a number of sites under the same IP, while using a dedicated server you will have a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you will be able to get a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. One advantage would be that you may enjoy far better search engine positions as a dedicated IP often means a quicker loading website. What's more, you need such an IP in case you would like to get an SSL certificate for your website and protect the info that your visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Website Hosting

If you host your websites on our revolutionary cloud platform and you have a website hosting package, you are able to add a dedicated IP to your account at any time and assign it to any domain or subdomain with only a couple of clicks. The aforementioned option is available in all data center facilities where we provide services - Chicago (US), Coventry (UK) and Sydney (AU), so whatever your choice during the registration process, you'll be able to get a dedicated IP 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 buy will be used for an SSL certificate, you may enable the automatic configuration attribute in our SSL order wizard and our system will request & assign the IP before it sets up your certificate automatically. Our versatile platform will enable you to use a dedicated IP for multiple websites as well if it is not in use by an SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

Considering that it's possible to run almost anything on a dedicated server, all of our packages feature three dedicated IP addresses included by default. In case you want to launch some server software or to install an SSL certificate for a website that you host on the machine, you're 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 website name that you've registered through us or elsewhere then employ them to direct other domains to the dedicated server. When you run a website hosting company, for example, this option will contribute to your credibility as an independent supplier. If you need more IPs than the three the packages provide you with, you are able to buy additional ones in increments of three either throughout the signup process or through your billing Control Panel any time.
