All devices on the Internet are recognized by a specific number called an IP address, for instance 123.123.123.123. In case you have a website, the domain that you type to load it is to save you time, however the server where your site files are still has an IP. As there are far more websites and devices than there are IP addresses, all shared website hosting servers have a number of websites under the very same IP, while with a dedicated server you'll be given a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you can get a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. An advantage would be that you may get far better search engine positions as a dedicated IP generally means a quicker loading site. What is more, you need such an IP when you plan to acquire an SSL certificate for your website and shield the data that visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Shared Web Hosting
If you host your sites on our cutting-edge cloud platform and you have a shared web hosting plan, you will be able to add a dedicated IP to your account at any time and assign it to any domain or subdomain with just a couple of clicks. The aforementioned option is available in all data centers where we supply services - Chicago (US), Coventry (UK) and Sydney (AU), so whatever your choice during the registration process, you'll be able to obtain a dedicated IP address for your sites. You'll be able to add / remove an IPas well as to keep track of the free and used ones at any moment. In case any of the IPs that you acquire will be used for an SSL certificate, you can activate the automatic configuration feature in our SSL order wizard then our system will request and assign the IP before it sets up the certificate automatically. Our flexible platform will allow you to use a dedicated IP address for a number of websites as well if it's not in use by an SSL.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you purchase a semi-dedicated server account through us, you will have the opportunity to acquire as many dedicated IPs as you'd like depending on the needs you have. It will take just a couple of clicks in the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel to purchase your new IP and several more so as to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The whole process is very easy and your website will start opening from your new IP address in no time. Hepsia will enable you to see all the IP addresses that you're able to use, both shared & dedicated, and which of the latter are available or taken. If you would like to use an SSL certificate on some of your sites and you need a dedicated IP for it, you may take full advantage of our SSL order wizard, which will assign a new IP and install the certificate the moment you submit your order, so you won't need to modify anything in your semi-dedicated hosting account by yourself.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers
All of our VPS servers include one dedicated IP as standard and if you order a web hosting Control Panel (DirectAdmin, Hepsia, cPanel) during the registration process, you'll acquire an additional one too at no extra cost. You can employ them the way you like - to access site content, to manage a web app, to install an SSL certificate, or even to register private name servers for any domain name which you have and use the latter for any other website that you intend to host on your server. The billing Control Panel where you can manage all plan renewals, upgrades as well as domain name registrations will enable you to order more dedicated IP addresses in case you need them for any purpose. A few minutes later the IPs will be assigned to your Virtual Server and you'll be able to use them straight away.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
In case you order a dedicated server, you probably plan to run some web application or host a lot of sites, so we provide 3 dedicated IPs at no charge with every single package and you will be able to use them the way you like - a software server, an SSL certificate, even child name servers for a domain name that you have registered here or from another company. The last option is very useful if you use your dedicated server to host users' Internet sites considering that it will give you authority and anonymity as a hosting service provider. The server billing Control Panel will make it easier to add additional IP addresses as well - the upgrade is in increments of three and takes just a couple of clicks in the Upgrades section, which means that you can go ahead and take advantage of your brand new dedicated IPs just a few minutes after you send your order.
