When you host a website on a server, it uses the server's shared IP - an exclusive number which is used to identify every device connected to the Web. The website name that you use for the website is for easy access and convenience of the site visitors, but on a lower level, their browser connects to the IP address of the server. As there are far more websites than IP addresses, shared web hosting servers use the same IP for a number of websites even in case they belong to different users. While this does not affect your site performance directly, having a dedicated IP may slightly enhance the loading speed of a given site, granting it superior rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is required for the setup of an SSL certificate too, so if you want to protect the payment or login information that your website visitors enter, you should have an IP in addition to the SSL.
Dedicated IP Address in Shared Web Hosting
When you use a shared web hosting account on our cloud platform, you can obtain a dedicated IP and assign it to any domain or subdomain with several clicks wherever your account is - in the USA, 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 keep track of what IPs are available, what are in use and what sites they're allotted to. If you want to use an SSL certificate in order to protect the information of your visitors and you acquire it through our company, our system will assign a dedicated IP and install the SSL for you, so you will not have to do anything manually on your end. In the meantime, you can still have a site in a subdomain as an add-on to the main one under a shared IP address - a message board where users can share their opinion about your services, for example.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
The Hepsia Control Panel, that is provided with our semi-dedicated server packages, will make it very simple to buy a dedicated IP and use it for any kind of site that you have in your account no matter if it is under a domain or a subdomain. With only a couple of clicks you are able to order the IP and when our system assigns it, you'll be able to set it for one or multiple websites from the Hosted Domains section of the Control Panel. In the same place you can also find what IP is used by each and every domain or subdomain, a long list of the dedicated IPs as well as if and what website they're assigned to? If the IP you need is for an SSL certificate, you will be able to take advantage of our user-friendly SSL wizard that will make the whole process very easy since it'll request and assign an IP to the desired domain/subdomain and then set up the SSL without the need of any action on your side other than placing your order.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers
All of our VPS service feature one dedicated IP as standard and if you pick a hosting Control Panel (cPanel, Hepsia, DirectAdmin) throughout the signup process, you'll acquire an additional one as well free of charge. You're able to use them as you see fit - to access site content, to manage a web application, to install an SSL certificate, or even to register private name servers for any domain which you have and use the latter for any other website that you wish to host on the server. The billing Control Panel where you're able to manage all the plan renewals, upgrades and domain name registrations will enable you to order additional dedicated IPs if you need them for any purpose. A couple of minutes later the IPs will be assigned to your Virtual Server and you can use them without delay.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
All Linux dedicated servers that we offer feature three dedicated IP addresses by default and free of charge. You can use them for any type of purpose based on the content that you have on your server - a game server or a Voice-Over-IP application, an SSL certificate for a website that you host, private name servers for a reseller domain which your customers can use to point domains to their hosting accounts, and much more. You will also be able to buy more dedicated IP addresses via the Upgrades part of your billing Control Panel in case you need more than the ones which come with the server. You can acquire the IPs in groups of three and they'll be added to your dedicated server right after you send your order, which means that you can use them without delays.
