All devices on the Internet are recognized by a specific number called an IP address, for example 123.123.123.123. When you have a site, the domain name that you enter to access it is to save you time, but the server where your site files are still has an IP address. Due to the fact that there are a lot more sites and devices than there are IP addresses, all shared web hosting servers have a number of sites under an identical IP, whereas with a dedicated server you'll have a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you can get a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. One advantage would be that you may have far better search engine rankings because a dedicated IP generally means a faster loading website. What's more, you need such an IP in case you would like to purchase an SSL certificate for your website and protect the info that your visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Web Hosting

If you use any of our web hosting plans, you can add a dedicated IP to your account in no time and assign it to any domain or subdomain with no more than a few clicks. This is valid whichever data center you've selected for the account during the sign-up process, therefore you're able to use this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. This way, you can have a dedicated IP for an electronic commerce website, for example, whereas a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP because you can modify each domain or subdomain independently from the Hosted Domains section of your Hepsia Control Panel. When you need a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you acquire the SSL from us, you will be able to use the auto-configuration tool, that will assign an IP and install the SSL automatically for the site where you would like to use them.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding your new dedicated IP takes just a few clicks. Our Hepsia Control Panel is very easy and intuitive to use, so even if you haven't had a website hosting account before, you won't experience any kind of difficulties to get and assign a dedicated IP address. Any domain or subdomain inside the account can use its own IP rather than the server's shared one and you are able to make this change from the Hosted Domains section, where you will also see all IPs that your sites can use as well as if a dedicated IP is free or you are already using it. If you want an IP for an SSL certificate, we have an SSL order tool through which you're able to select everything to be installed automatically. When you use this particular feature, our system will change the IP address of the desired domain/subdomain to a dedicated one and it will set up the certificate within minutes, so you will not need to do anything on your end other than approving your SSL request through electronic mail.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS

If you obtain a virtual private server from our company, you will receive a dedicated IP address automatically and another one if you obtain a website hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel). You are able to use the IP addresses for any kind of purpose - a website, 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 extra dedicated IP addresses to the VPS account when you need them. You can do this through the billing Control Panel that you will acquire in order to manage renewals, upgrade purchases and domain registrations and it will take only a few clicks. After you upload your order, the added IP addresses will be at your disposal, so you will be able to use them the way you like.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Hosting

Because you can run almost anything on a dedicated server, all of our packages feature 3 dedicated IP addresses included by default. In case you wish to launch some server software or to install an SSL certificate for a site that you host on the machine, you can use the IPs that we provide for free. In addition, you can register child name servers with one or two of the IPs for any website name that you have registered with our company or anywhere else and use them to point other domains to the dedicated server. When you run a website hosting company, for instance, this option will contribute to your credibility as an independent supplier. When you need more IP addresses than the three our plans come with, you are able to get additional ones in increments of 3 either during the registration process or through your billing Control Panel any time.
