If you host a site on a server, it employs the server's shared IP address - a special number which is used to detect any kind of device connected to the Net. The domain name that you use for the website is for easy accessibility and convenience of the website visitors, but on a more basic level, their Internet browser connects to the IP of the server. As there're far more sites than IPs, shared hosting servers use the same IP for a number of websites even in case they are owned by several users. Even though this does not affect the website performance directly, having a dedicated IP can slightly improve the loading speed of a given site, giving it better rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is necessary for the installation of an SSL certificate too, so if you want to protect the payment or login info that your website visitors enter, you need an IP alongside the SSL.
Dedicated IP Address in Website Hosting
When you use a website hosting account on our cloud platform, you're able to get a dedicated IP address and assign it to any domain or subdomain with a couple of clicks regardless of where your account is - in the United States, the United Kingdom or Australia. This can be done from the Hosted Domains area of our intuitive and user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you can also monitor what IPs are available, what are in use and what sites they are assigned to. In case you want to use an SSL certificate so as to protect the information of your visitors and you get it through our company, our system can assign a dedicated IP and install the SSL for you, so you will not be required to anything manually on your end. In the meantime, you may still have a website in a subdomain as an add-on to the main one under a shared IP address - a discussion forum where users can share thoughts and opinions about your services, for example.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you obtain a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you'll have the opportunity to acquire as many dedicated IP addresses as you like depending on your preferences. It will take just a few clicks inside the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel to buy your new IP plus a couple of more so as to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The entire process is very simple and your website will start opening from your new IP address in minutes. Hepsia will enable you to see all of the IP addresses which you'll be able to use, both shared and dedicated, and which of the latter are available or taken. If you'd like to use an SSL certificate on some of your sites and you need a dedicated IP for it, you can take full advantage of our SSL order wizard, which will assign a new IP and install the certificate as soon as you upload your order, so you do not need to adjust anything in your semi-dedicated hosting account manually.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Hosting
In case you purchase a virtual private server from us, you'll get one dedicated IP address automatically and an additional one when you obtain a hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You will be able to use the IPs for any kind of purpose - a site, some web app such as a VOIP server, even for private name servers that you are able to use to point to your VPS any domain name which you wish to host. In addition, you can add more dedicated IP addresses to your VPS account when you need them. This can be done from the billing Control Panel that you will obtain in order to control renewals, upgrades and domain name registrations and it takes no more than a couple of clicks. After you upload your order, the added IP addresses will be accessible, so you'll be able to use them the way you like.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Web Hosting
If you obtain a dedicated server, you probably would like to run some web application or host numerous websites, so we provide 3 dedicated IPs completely free 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 that you have registered here or from another company. The aforementioned option is very useful if you use your dedicated server to host customers' sites due to the fact that it will give you credibility and anonymity as a hosting company. The server billing Control Panel will allow you to add additional IPs as well - the upgrade is in increments of three and takes just a couple of clicks in the Upgrades section, which means that you will be able to go ahead and use the new dedicated IPs a few minutes after you submit your order.
