When you host a website on a server, it makes use of the server's shared IP - an exclusive number that's used to identify every device connected to the Internet. The website name that you use for the site is for easy access and convenience of the website visitors, but on a lower level, their browser connects to the IP address of the server. Since there are many more sites than IPs, shared website hosting servers use the very same IP for a variety of websites even if they belong to several users. While this does not affect the website performance directly, using a dedicated IP may slightly improve the loading speed of a certain site, granting it superior positions in search engine results. Such an IP is required for the installation of an SSL certificate too, so if you want to protect the payment or login info that your website visitors type in, you should have an IP alongside the SSL.
Dedicated IP Address in Cloud Hosting
We supply dedicated IP addresses with all our cloud plans regardless of the data center location and you're able to buy one or several IPs using your Hepsia Control Panel. A new section will appear as part of your account and you're able to request, delete or view your IPs with just a few clicks. You will be able to choose what number of domains or subdomains will use a particular IP since you can assign one with a couple of clicks to any hostname. For example, www.domain.com can be your main website, which uses a server's shared IP, and shop.domain.com can be the subdomain where you offer goods or services on the web and it might have a dedicated IP in addition to an SSL certificate. You can switch the IP that a website uses from the Hosted Domains section where you can also keep track which IPs are in use and which ones are available. You may also set some of your sites to use one and the same dedicated IP as long as there's no SSL set up for it.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you get a semi-dedicated server account from us, you'll have the option to get as many dedicated IP addresses as you like depending on the needs you have. It takes a couple of clicks in the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel to purchase your new IP and several more so as to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The process is very simple and your website will start loading from your new IP address in no time. Hepsia will allow you to see all the IPs which you're able to use, both shared & dedicated, and which of the latter are available or taken. Provided you want to use an SSL certificate on some of your sites and you want a dedicated IP for it, you can take advantage of our SSL order wizard, that can assign a new IP and set up the certificate as soon as you send your order, so you do not have to change anything in your semi-dedicated web hosting account by yourself.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers
All of the VPS web hosting plans that we provide feature a dedicated IP, so you will not share your IP with any other customer with an account on the same machine. If you choose a hosting Control Panel for the server throughout the signup process, you will receive an extra dedicated IP too and you're able to use it for any content which you host on the VPS - a site, an application, an SSL certificate, a VOIP server, and so on. In case you require more IPs, you're able to order them as a further upgrade from your billing Control Panel and they will be assigned to your server quickly. You can control the IPs with ease through your web hosting Control Panel and the virtualization admin panel that you'll obtain to maintain the virtual machine.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
Since all of our dedicated web hosting plans offer three dedicated IP addresses as part of the plans as standard, we will give you a head start in case you want to run any application which requires this type of an IP. We provide them at no charge and you can use them for as long as you use your server for anything you would like - child name servers for any domain that you host, an SSL certificate for any site on your server, a software server (online games, VOIP), etcetera. Using the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you will receive to organize renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you will also be able to purchase more dedicated IP addresses in sets of three whenever you need. They will be assigned to your server very quickly, so that you can start using them for your websites and web-based applications without delay.
