All devices on the Web are recognized by a unique number called an IP address, for instance 123.123.123.123. If you have a website, the domain name that you type to open it is to save you time, yet the server where your site files are still has an IP. Considering that there are far more websites and devices than there're IPs, all shared website hosting servers have a number of websites under an identical IP, whereas with a dedicated server you'll get a dedicated IP too. Even in the first case though, you will be able to get a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. An advantage would be that you'll have improved search engine rankings because a dedicated IP often means a quicker loading website. In addition, you need such an IP when you intend to acquire an SSL certificate for your site and secure the information that your visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Cloud Website Hosting
When you use some of our cloud website hosting packages, you'll be able to add a dedicated IP address to your account without any difficulty and assign it to a domain or subdomain with just a couple of clicks. This is valid whichever data center you have picked for the account during the signup process, which means that you will be able to take advantage of this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. This way, you can have a dedicated IP for an electronic commerce website, for example, whereas a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP because you can edit each and every domain or subdomain independently from the Hosted Domains area of your Hepsia Control Panel. If you'd like a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you get the SSL from our company, you'll be able to use our auto-configuration tool, that will assign an IP and install the SSL automatically for the site where you want to use them.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you buy a semi-dedicated server account through our company, you will get the opportunity to acquire as many dedicated IP addresses as you would like depending on your preferences. It will take a couple of clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel to purchase your new IP plus several more in order to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The entire process is very easy and your site will start loading from the new IP address in no time. Hepsia will allow you to view all the IPs which you'll be able to use, both shared and dedicated, and which of the latter are free or taken. In case you'd like to use an SSL certificate on some of your websites and you need a dedicated IP for it, you can take advantage of our SSL order wizard, that can assign a new IP and install the certificate as soon as you submit your order, so you do not need to customize anything in your semi-dedicated web hosting account by yourself.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers
All of our Linux VPS hosting plans provide you with one dedicated IP address as standard and if you order a web hosting Control Panel (cPanel, Hepsia, DirectAdmin) throughout the registration process, you will acquire a second one as well for free. You are able to use them as you decide - to access web content, to run a web app, to install an SSL certificate, or even to register private name servers for any domain name that you have and use the latter for any other domain that you would like to host on your server. The billing Control Panel where you are able to take care of all of the plan renewals, upgrades as well as domain registrations will allow you to order additional dedicated IPs when you need them for any purpose. A couple of minutes later the IPs will be assigned to your Virtual Server and you'll be able to use them immediately.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
As all our Linux dedicated servers come with 3 dedicated IP addresses as part of the plans as standard, we will give you a serious advantage in case you'd like to run any app which needs such an IP. We supply them free of cost and you're able to use them for as long as you use your server for anything you'd like - child name servers for any domain that you host, an SSL certificate for any website on your server, a software server (online games, VOIP), etcetera. From the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you'll receive to control renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you will also be able to order more dedicated IP addresses in groups of three any time. They will be assigned to your server in a few minutes, so you can start using them for your websites and web-based applications without delay.
