Additional IP addresses – what are the benefits and when do you need them?
Curiosities, news, inspirations.
Up to 256 IP addresses on a server at DataHouse – who needs it and why it’s a game-changer?
In the hosting world, most providers offer just one IP address for a VPS or dedicated server. If you’re lucky, you might be able to purchase two, three, or maybe five additional ones. But DataHouse takes it a huge step further – in its dedicated server offer, you can configure up to 256 IP addresses.
Sounds impressive? Absolutely. But the big question is: who actually needs that many IP addresses?
When additional IPs are a must-have
Hosting multiple websites
If you run a hosting business or manage dozens of client websites, having a dedicated IP for each one is a major advantage – both for SEO and security.
SSL certificates
While SNI has solved many compatibility issues, in some cases having a unique IP address for an SSL certificate is still more convenient.
Development and staging environments
Separate IPs for test and production environments help keep things organized and avoid accidental conflicts.
VPN and network infrastructure
When deploying multiple VPN tunnels, proxy servers, or a complex security infrastructure, extra IPs are absolutely essential.
Email marketing and IP reputation
Companies that send large volumes of email often separate traffic across different IPs to protect their reputation and improve deliverability rates.
Why does this make DataHouse stand out?
Compared to the competition, the ability to assign up to 256 IP addresses is truly exceptional. Most providers limit you to just a handful – sometimes a dozen or so – and further expansion is either very expensive or simply not available.
With DataHouse, you get the flexibility to build a real hosting hub on a single dedicated server.
Not everyone needs hundreds of IP addresses – that’s obvious. But if you’re running a hosting business, a large infrastructure, a project that requires service separation, or advanced network solutions, this option places DataHouse among the very few providers who truly understand the needs of power users.
