All devices on the Internet are identified by a unique number called an IP address, such as 123.123.123.123. In case you have a website, the domain name that you enter in order to open it is for your convenience, yet the server where your site files are still has an IP. Considering that there're far more sites and devices than there are IP addresses, all the shared hosting servers have a number of websites under an identical IP, while with a dedicated server you'll have a dedicated IP too. Even in the first case though, you're able to obtain a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. An advantage would be that you may have better search engine positions as a dedicated IP usually means a quicker loading site. Furthermore, you need such an IP when you plan to buy an SSL certificate for your site and shield the information that your visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Website Hosting

When you use a website hosting account on our cloud platform, you are able to get a dedicated IP and assign it to any domain or subdomain with just a few clicks no matter where your account is - in the USA, Britain or Australia. This is done from the Hosted Domains area 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. If you want to use an SSL certificate in order to secure the information of your visitors and you obtain it from our company, our system can assign a dedicated IP and install the SSL for you, so you won't 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 - a discussion forum where users can share their opinion about your services, for example.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding your new dedicated IP address takes no more than a few clicks. Our Hepsia Control Panel is very easy and intuitive to use, so even when you haven't had a web hosting account previously, you won't encounter any kind of difficulties to get and assign a dedicated IP address. Each domain or subdomain in the account can use its own IP in place of the server's shared one and you'll be able to make this change in the Hosted Domains section, where you will also see all IPs that your sites can use as well as if a dedicated IP is accessible or you are already using it. In case that you'd like to have an IP for an SSL certificate, we have an SSL order instrument through which you'll be able to select everything to be set up automatically. With this particular feature, our system will change the IP address of the desired domain/subdomain to a dedicated one and it'll set up your certificate within a matter of minutes, so you will not need to do anything on your end apart from authorizing the SSL request through e-mail.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS Hosting

In case you acquire a virtual private server from us, you will have one dedicated IP address automatically and a second one when you acquire a hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You are able to use the IPs for any sort of purpose - a website, some web app such as a VOIP server, even for private name servers that you're able to use to point to your VPS any domain name which you want to host. In addition, you can add extra dedicated IP addresses to your VPS account when you need them. This can be done from the billing Control Panel that you'll acquire so as to control renewals, upgrade purchases and domain name registrations and it takes just a couple of clicks. Soon after you submit your order, the additional IP addresses will be accessible, so you will be able to use them as you see fit.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Web Hosting

In case you get a dedicated server, you probably would like to run a web application or host a lot of Internet sites, so we supply 3 dedicated IPs free of charge with each plan 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 name that you have registered here or via another company. The last option is really useful if you use your dedicated server to host users' Internet sites since it will give you credibility and anonymity as a website hosting supplier. The server billing Control Panel will make it easier to add extra IPs as well - the upgrade comes 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 brand new dedicated IPs just a few minutes after you submit your order.
