When you host a website on a server, it works by using the server's shared IP - a special number that is used to detect any device connected to the Web. The website name which you use for the website is for quick access and convenience of the website visitors, but on a more basic level, their web browser connects to the IP address of the server. Because there are far more websites than IP addresses, shared hosting servers use the very same IP for many different sites even in case they are owned by separate users. While this does not affect your website performance directly, having a dedicated IP may slightly boost the loading speed of a particular website, providing it superior positions in search engine results. Such an IP is necessary for the installation of an SSL certificate as well, so if you want to protect the payment or login info that your website visitors type in, you should have an IP along with the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting

With a shared hosting account on our cloud platform, you're able to acquire a dedicated IP address and assign it to any domain or subdomain with a few clicks regardless of where your account is - in the United States, Great Britain or Australia. This can be done through the Hosted Domains part of the intuitive and user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you can also monitor what IPs are available, what are in use and what websites they are allotted to. In case you would like to use an SSL certificate to protect the information of your site visitors and you get it through us, our system can assign a dedicated IP and install the SSL for you, so you won't have to do anything manually on your end. In the meantime, you may still have a site in a subdomain as an add-on to the main one under a shared IP address - a discussion board where users can share thoughts and opinions about your services, for instance.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting

With only a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel, you can add one or a variety of dedicated IP addresses to your semi-dedicated hosting service and assign them to your websites. The Hosted Domains part of Hepsia will help you find the available IP addresses and to keep track of the ones which are in use in no time. If you would like to get a new IP for an SSL certificate, you'll be able to use the auto-configuration function, which is available in our SSL order wizard. When you enable this feature, you won't have to do anything after you submit your order since our system will request a dedicated IP, assign it to the domain or subdomain involved, and then set up the SSL certificate - all of this automatically and without any action on your end. This way, you'll be able to shield the information that visitors submit on your website even when you do not have any previous experience with this kind of matters.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS

If you get a virtual private server from our company, you'll be given one dedicated IP address as standard and an additional one in case you get a hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You'll be able to use the IP addresses for any kind of purpose - a site, some web app such as a VOIP server, even for private name servers that you can use to point to your VPS any website that you intend to host. Also, you can add more dedicated IPs to your VPS account any time you need them. This can be done from the billing Control Panel that you'll obtain to take care of renewals, upgrade purchases and domain name registrations and it takes just a few clicks. Soon after you upload your order, the additional IP addresses will be at your disposal, so you can use them the way you like.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Hosting

In case you purchase a dedicated server, you probably plan to run a web application or host a number of Internet sites, so we supply three dedicated IPs at no charge with each plan and you can use them as you see fit - a software server, an SSL certificate, even child name servers for a domain name that you have registered here or through another company. The aforementioned option is very useful when you use your dedicated server to host clients' Internet sites considering that it'll give you trustworthiness and anonymity as a website hosting company. The server billing Control Panel will enable you to add additional IPs as well - the upgrade is in increments of three and takes only a few clicks in the Upgrades section, therefore you're able to go ahead and take advantage of the new dedicated IPs a couple of minutes after you send your order.
