Could you give me more IP for my server please?

Q: I would like to add 1 additional IP address. How much would that be?

If you have only one IP address on your VPS, the second would be free. BUT we do need that you justify the usage of that IP address, as we also need to report our IP usage to the APNIC/RIPE (for Asia and Europe respectively), like every company that has it's own IP pools.

Q: I would like to have two, so that I can setup a name server for my domain and I am required two have two IPs. I would also like to have my ssh server on a different ip than my web and mail server.

I'm sorry, this is not enough. Imagine what WE would say to the APNIC: "oh, the customer was feeling like it, he wanted his ssh server on a different IP and thought it would be fun"... This is not realistic! If you want a 2nd IP, it has to be for a reason, not just for your personal tastes. Otherwise, we are risking that the APNIC takes away the allocated IPs. Unfortunately, this has nothing to do with price.

A good reason would be:

You need to setup 2 SSL sites (in which case APNIC could ask the URL)
You need more than one server of any given service that needs to be on the standard port (eg: ftp, vpn, etc.) because they are publicly available

Note that if any other service provider is NOT answering the way we are, then they are NOT serious and respecting the general rules that are applying to ALL service providers, and are risking to have their IP taken away (risk that we are not willing to take). I hope you understand all this, and that we are also annoyed by the general rules of IP allocations.
