All devices on the Internet are recognized by a special number called an IP address, for example 123.123.123.123. When you have a site, the domain name that you type to open it is to save you time, yet the server where the site files are still has an IP. Due to the fact that there're far more websites and devices than there're IPs, all the shared website hosting servers have a number of sites under an identical IP, while with a dedicated server you'll get a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you will be able to get a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. One benefit would be that you will enjoy better search engine rankings because a dedicated IP generally means a quicker loading site. In addition, you need such an IP if you would like to purchase an SSL certificate for your site and shield the information that your visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Cloud Website Hosting
If you use any of our cloud website hosting packages, you'll be able to add a dedicated IP to your account in no time and assign it to a domain or subdomain with no more than a few clicks. This is valid no matter which data center you've selected for your account during the registration process, thus it's possible to take advantage of this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. In 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 since you can modify each domain or subdomain separately from the Hosted Domains area of your Hepsia Control Panel. If you would like a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you get the SSL from us, you are able to use our auto-configuration tool, that will assign an IP and install the SSL automatically for the site where you'd like to use them.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding a new dedicated IP takes no more than a few clicks. Our Hepsia Control Panel is very easy and intuitive to use, so even if you have not had a website hosting account previously, you won't experience any kind of difficulties to order and assign a dedicated IP. Any domain or subdomain inside the account can use its own IP other than the server's shared one and you're able to make this change from the Hosted Domains section, where you will also find all IPs that your sites can use as well as if a dedicated IP is free or you're already using it. In case that you want an IP for an SSL certificate, we have an SSL order tool through which you can select everything to be installed automatically. When you use this particular feature, our system will modify the IP address of the desired domain/subdomain to a dedicated one and it'll install your certificate within a matter of minutes, so you shall not need to do anything on your end other than authorizing your SSL request via e-mail.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers
Our VPS plans feature one dedicated IP address as standard and if you obtain a web hosting Control Panel (DirectAdmin, cPanel, Hepsia) during the registration process, you'll obtain an extra one as well completely free. You can use them as you decide - to access website content, to run a web application, to set up an SSL certificate, or even to register private name servers for any website which you have and use the latter for any other domain that you wish to host on your server. The billing Control Panel where you will be able to control all plan renewals, upgrades as well as domain registrations will enable you to order additional dedicated IPs in case you need them for any purpose. A couple of minutes later the IPs will be assigned to your Virtual Server and you will be able to use them immediately.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
In case you order a dedicated server, you probably plan to run some web app or host a lot of Internet sites, so we supply three dedicated IPs completely free with each plan and you can use them the way you like - a software server, an SSL certificate, even child name servers for a domain that you've registered here or through another company. The last mentioned option is very useful in case you use the dedicated server to host customers' sites as it'll give you trustworthiness and anonymity as a website hosting service provider. The server billing Control Panel will allow you to add additional IP addresses as well - the upgrade is in increments of three and takes only a few clicks in the Upgrades section, so you will be able to go ahead and start using the new dedicated IP addresses a couple of minutes after you send your order.
