If you host a website on a server, it employs the server's shared IP address - an exclusive number that is used to detect a device connected to the Net. The domain 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. Due to the fact that there're far more websites than IPs, shared web hosting servers use the very same IP for several sites even in case they are owned by several users. Even though this doesn't affect the website performance directly, having a dedicated IP may slightly enhance the loading speed of a particular website, giving it higher positions in search engine results. Such an IP is essential for the setup of an SSL certificate too, so if you would like to secure the payment or login info that your site visitors submit, you will need an IP alongside the SSL.

Because all our Linux dedicated servers hosting packages feature three dedicated IP addresses provided in the plans as standard, we'll give you a serious advantage in case you would like to run any application that needs such an IP. We provide them for free and you will be able to use them for as long as you use your server for anything you would like - child name servers for any domain name which you host, an SSL certificate for any site on the server, a software server (games, VOIP), etc. Using the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you will get to organize renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you'll also be able to buy more dedicated IPs in groups of three any time. They'll be assigned to your server in no time, so that you can start using them for your websites and web-based apps without delay.
