If you host a site on a server, it uses the server's shared IP address - a special number that is used to detect any device connected to the World Wide Web. The domain name that you use for the site is for quick access and convenience of the visitors, but on a more basic level, their Internet browser connects to the IP address of the server. As there are a lot more sites than IPs, shared web hosting servers use the same IP for many different websites even in case they belong to several users. While this doesn't affect your website performance directly, having a dedicated IP can slightly boost the loading speed of a particular site, giving it higher rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is essential for the setup of an SSL certificate as well, so when you plan to protect the payment or login info that your site visitors type in, you should have an IP in addition to the SSL.
Dedicated IP Address in Website Hosting
When you use a website hosting account on our cloud platform, you will be able to obtain a dedicated IP address and assign it to any domain or subdomain with just a couple of clicks wherever your account is - in the United States, Great Britain or Australia. This is done from the Hosted Domains area of our intuitive and user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you may also monitor what IPs are available, what are in use and what sites they're allotted to. If you want to use an SSL certificate to secure the information of your website visitors and you obtain it through our company, our system can assign a dedicated IP and set up the SSL for you, so you will not need to do anything manually on your end. Meanwhile, you can still have a website in a subdomain as an addition to the main one under a shared IP - a community forum where users can share their opinion about your services, for instance.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you buy a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you will have the opportunity to acquire as many dedicated IPs as you need depending on your needs. It will take a few clicks in the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel to buy a new IP and several more to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The entire process is very easy and your site will start opening from your new IP address very quickly. Hepsia will allow you to see all of the IPs which you're able to use, both shared and dedicated, and which of the latter are free or taken. Provided 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, that will assign a new IP and set up the certificate once you submit your order, so you don't need to customize anything in your semi-dedicated website hosting account by yourself.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers
If you obtain a VPS server from our company, you will receive one dedicated IP address by default and another one when you obtain a website hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You'll be able to use the IP addresses for any sort of purpose - a website, some web application such as a VOIP server, even for private name servers that you can use to point to your VPS any website that you would like to host. You may also 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 get to take care of renewals, upgrades and domain registrations and it takes just a couple of clicks. Shortly after you send your order, the added IP addresses will be at your disposal, so you are able to use them the way you like.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
Since our dedicated web hosting plans feature three dedicated IP addresses as part of the plans as standard, we will give you a serious advantage if you wish to run any application which needs this type of an IP. We supply them at no charge and you'll be able to use them for as long as you use the server for anything you would like - child name servers for any domain name which you host, an SSL certificate for any site on your server, a software server (online games, VOIP), etcetera. From the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you'll get to take care of renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you'll also be able to obtain more dedicated IP addresses in sets of three whenever you need. They'll be assigned to your server within a few minutes, so that you can start using them for your websites and web-based applications right away.
