All devices on the Internet are identified by a special number called an IP address, such as 123.123.123.123. When you have a website, the domain that you enter to be able to access it is to save you time, however the server where the site files are still has an IP. As there are far more sites and devices than there are IPs, all of the shared hosting servers have a number of websites under the same IP, whereas when you use a dedicated server you'll get a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you are able to get a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. An advantage would be that you will get better search engine positions as a dedicated IP usually means a faster loading website. Last but not least, you need such an IP in case you intend to buy an SSL certificate for your site and secure the information that your visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers
If you get a VPS server from us, you will have a dedicated IP address as standard and an additional one in case you acquire a web hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You're able to use the IP addresses for any kind of purpose - a site, some web application such as a VOIP server, even for private name servers that you'll be able to use to point to your VPS any domain name that you wish to host. Also, you can add more dedicated IPs to your VPS account every time you need them. This can be done through the billing Control Panel that you will obtain to take care of renewals, upgrade purchases and domain name registrations and it will take only a couple of clicks. Shortly after you submit your order, the extra IP addresses will be at your disposal, so you're able to use them as you see fit.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
In case you order a dedicated server, you probably plan to run some web application or host a number of Internet sites, so we provide 3 dedicated IPs free of charge with every single package and you'll be able to use them as you see fit - a software server, an SSL certificate, even child name servers for a domain name which you've registered here or from another company. The aforementioned option is really helpful when you use the dedicated server to host clients' sites as it'll give you authority and anonymity as a website hosting supplier. The server billing Control Panel will enable you to add more IP addresses as well - the upgrade comes in increments of three and takes just a few clicks in the Upgrades section, so you are able to go ahead and start using your new dedicated IPs a couple of minutes after you send your order.
