If you host a website on a server, it makes use of the server's shared IP - a special number that's used to identify every device connected to the Net. The website name which you use for the website is for quick access and convenience of the visitors, but on a more basic level, their web browser connects to the IP address of the server. As there're far more sites than IP addresses, shared website hosting servers use the same IP for a number of sites even in case they belong to several users. Even though this does not affect the site performance directly, using a dedicated IP can slightly increase the loading speed of a particular website, providing it better rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is required for the setup of an SSL certificate as well, so when you wish to protect the payment or login details that your website visitors enter, you will need an IP together with the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Website Hosting

If you host your websites on our innovative cloud platform and you have a website hosting plan, you are able to add a dedicated IP to your account at any time and assign it to any domain or subdomain with just a couple of clicks. This option is accessible in all the data center facilities where we supply services - Chicago (US), Coventry (UK) and Sydney (AU), so whatever your choice throughout the registration process, you will be able to acquire a dedicated IP address for your sites. You will be able to add or remove an IPas well as to keep track of the free and used ones at any time. If any of the IPs that you purchase will be used for an SSL certificate, you may enable the automatic configuration feature in our SSL order wizard and our system will request & assign the IP before it installs your certificate automatically. Our versatile platform will allow you to use a dedicated IP for a number of sites as well if it's not in use by an SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers Hosting

All the dedicated servers hosting that we offer include three dedicated IP addresses as standard and cost-free. You will be able to use them for any type of purpose based on the content that you've got on your server - an online 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 customers can use to point domain names to their website hosting accounts, etc. You can also purchase more dedicated IP addresses via the Upgrades part of your billing Control Panel if you need more than the ones which come with your plan. You're able to buy the IPs in sets of three and they'll be added to your dedicated server right after you send your order, so that you can use them without delays.
