Can I get unlimited dedicated IPs?

Due to the global shortage of IPv4 addresses, although there is no limit on the number you may have, we are now required to request justification for dedicated IP address requests.

With the exception of the Business hosting package, the only acceptable justification for a dedicated IP address on any account type that we can accept at this time is for use with an SSL certificate.

You may request a single free dedicated IP address for use with the Business hosting package without providing justification.

SHARED HOSTING PLANS

You can only have 1 dedicated IP address per Shared account. The dedicated IP address must be assigned to your entire cPanel. Your primary domain and all addon domains and subdomains will use the same IP address. You cannot purchase a dedicated IP for only an addon domain.

Package Notes:

  • Hatchling - Dedicated IPs are not available for the Hatchling package at this time.
  • Baby - You may order ONE dedicated IP and must have an SSL in order to be approved for a dedicated IP assignment. The IP must go on your entire cPanel for all domains under the cPanel to use. The IP is an additional $2/month.

    If you wish to order SSL for a Baby plan, you may do so here and we will automatically assign a Dedicated IP in conjunction with the SSL setup:
    Order a Dedicated IP Address (Baby Package)
  • Business - You may order ONE free dedicated IP.
    Request Your Free Dedicated IP (Business Package)

    If you wish to request the FREE SSL for this plan (recommended), the free Dedicated IP will be automatically assigned. The request form to use in this case is located at:
    Order Your Free SSL with Dedicated IP (Business Package)

RESELLER/VPS/DEDICATED HOSTING PLANS

As long as the domain for which you are requesting the dedicated IP has an associated SSL, we would be able to get you a dedicated IP for the domain. (Special Note on Dedicated servers below.)

Package Notes:

  • Reseller - Dedicated IP addresses are available at $2/month per IP.
    Order a Dedicated IP Address (Resellers)
  • VPS - Dedicated IP addresses are available at $2/month per IP.
    Order a Dedicated IP Address (VPS/Dedicated)
  • Dedicated - Dedicated IP addresses are available at $8/month per IP block (4 IPs in each block). They are only sold in BLOCKS OF 4 for Dedicated servers. (Single IPs are not available at this time for Dedicated servers. We apologize for any inconvenience.) Note that you are only required to provide justification for ONE domain (proof of SSL) in order for the block of 4 to be assigned to your server.
    Order a Dedicated IP Address (VPS/Dedicated)

Want Dedicated IPs for SEO Purposes instead?

If you are seeking separate IPs solely for SEO purposes and do not plan on using SSL, we recommend checking out our SEO Hosting plans at http://www.seohosting.com/ which may better accommodate your needs.
