If you host a site on a server, it works by using the server's shared IP address - a unique number that's used to distinguish every device connected to the World Wide Web. The domain name that you use for the website is for easy access and convenience of the website visitors, but on a lower level, their browser connects to the IP of the server. As there are far more websites than IP addresses, shared hosting servers use the same IP for a variety of websites even in case they are owned by different users. Even though this does not affect the site performance directly, using a dedicated IP may slightly improve the loading speed of a given website, providing it better rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is essential for the setup of an SSL certificate as well, so when you plan to secure the payment or login information that your website visitors type in, you need an IP along with the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting

If you use some of our shared hosting packages, you can add a dedicated IP address to your account without any difficulty and assign it to a domain or subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks. This is valid whichever data center you've chosen for your account during the signup process, which means that you are able to use this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. In this way, you can have a dedicated IP for an electronic commerce site, for instance, while a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP because you can adjust each domain or subdomain independently through the Hosted Domains part of your Hepsia Control Panel. If you would like a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you get the SSL through our company, you are able to use the auto-configuration tool, which will assign an IP and set up the SSL automatically for the website where you'd like to use them.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting

With only a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel, you can add one or several dedicated IP addresses to your Linux semi-dedicated service and assign them to your websites. The Hosted Domains section of Hepsia will help you view the available IPs and to monitor the ones that are in use with ease. In case you would like to acquire a new IP for an SSL certificate, you are able to use the auto-configuration function, which is available in our SSL order wizard. If you activate this option, you won't need to do anything after you submit your order as our system will request a dedicated IP address, assign it to the domain or subdomain in question, and then add the SSL certificate - all this automatically and without the need of any action on your end. In this way, you can shield the information that visitors post on your website even when you lack previous experience with this type of matters.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS Web Hosting

In case you purchase a virtual private server from our company, you'll receive a dedicated IP address by default and a second one if you acquire a website hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You'll be able to use the IP addresses for any purpose - an Internet site, 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 IPs to the VPS account every time you need them. This can be done via the billing Control Panel that you will acquire to manage renewals, upgrades and domain registrations and it takes no more than a couple of clicks. After you submit your order, the additional IP addresses will be available, so you will be able to use them the way you like.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers Hosting

All the dedicated hosting services that we supply feature three dedicated IP addresses by default and cost-free. You can employ them for any purpose depending on the content that you've got on the server - a video 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 clients may use to point domain names to their website hosting accounts, etceterra. You can also 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 your server. You will be able to buy the IPs in sets of three and they will be added to your dedicated server shortly after you submit your order, which means that you can use them without any delays.
