If you host a site on a server, it makes use of the server's shared IP address - a unique number that's used to identify 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 website visitors, but on a lower level, their Internet browser connects to the IP of the server. Because there're many more websites than IPs, shared hosting servers use the very same IP for multiple websites even if they are owned by different users. While this doesn't affect the site performance directly, using a dedicated IP can slightly improve the loading speed of a particular site, giving it superior positions in search engine results. Such an IP is required for the setup of an SSL certificate too, so when you plan to secure the payment or login information that your site visitors enter, you'll need an IP along with the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Website Hosting

If you use any of our website hosting plans, you will be able to add a dedicated IP address to your account with ease and assign it to any domain or subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks. This is valid no matter which data center you have selected for your account throughout the signup process, therefore you will be able to take full advantage of this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. This way, you can have a dedicated IP for an e-commerce website, for instance, whereas a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP as you can modify each domain or subdomain independently through the Hosted Domains part of your Hepsia Control Panel. When you need a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you obtain the SSL from our company, you'll be able to use the auto-configuration instrument, that will assign an IP and set up the SSL automatically for the site where you want to use them.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting

The Hepsia Control Panel, which is provided with all of our semi-dedicated server packages, will make it very easy to acquire a dedicated IP and use it for any site that you have in your account irrespective of whether it's under a domain or a subdomain. With just a few clicks you'll be able to order the IP and when our system assigns it, you will be able to set it for one or multiple sites through the Hosted Domains section of the Control Panel. In the same place you'll also be able to view what IP is used by each and every domain or subdomain, a list of the dedicated IPs as well as if and what site they're assigned to? Provided the IP you need is for an SSL certificate, you will be able to take advantage of our useful SSL wizard that will make the entire process very simple because it will request and assign an IP to the preferred domain/subdomain and after that set up the SSL without any action on your side apart from placing the order.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS

In case you purchase a virtual private server from us, you'll receive one dedicated IP address automatically and an additional one if you obtain a hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You're able to use the IPs for any purpose - a site, 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 want to host. In addition, you can add extra dedicated IP addresses to your VPS account any time you need them. This can be done from the billing Control Panel that you'll receive so as to take care of renewals, upgrade purchases and domain name registrations and it takes no more than a couple of clicks. After you send your order, the extra IP addresses will be at your disposal, so you will be able to use them as you see fit.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Hosting

Considering that you can run almost anything on a dedicated server, all our packages come with 3 dedicated IP addresses included by default. If you plan to launch some server software or to set up an SSL certificate for a site that you host on the machine, you are able to use the IPs which we provide you with absolutely free. You may also register child name servers with one or two of the IP addresses for any website name that you have registered with us or any place else and then employ them to point other domains to the dedicated server. When you own a website hosting company, for instance, this option will contribute to your credibility as a standalone provider. In case you need more IP addresses than the three our packages provide you with, you will be able to get extra ones in increments of three either during the signup process or through your billing Control Panel any time.
