All devices on the World Wide Web are identified by a specific number called an IP address, for example 123.123.123.123. When you have a website, the domain that you type to be able to load it is for your convenience, but the server where the site files are still has an IP address. Because there are a lot more websites and devices than there're IPs, all the shared website hosting servers have a number of websites under an identical IP, while using a dedicated server you'll be given a dedicated IP too. Even in the first case though, you will be able to acquire a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. One advantage would be that you may get improved search engine rankings as a dedicated IP generally means a quicker loading website. What's more, you need such an IP when you plan to buy an SSL certificate for your website and shield the information that your visitors submit on it.

If you order a dedicated server, you probably want to run a web application or host a number of sites, so we supply three dedicated IP addresses absolutely free with each and every package and you can use them as you decide - a software server, an SSL certificate, even child name servers for a domain name that you've registered here or through another company.

The server billing Control Panel will enable you to add extra IP addresses as well - the upgrade is in increments of three and takes only a few clicks in the Upgrades section, which means that you can go ahead and start using your new dedicated IPs just a few minutes after you submit your order.
