If you host a site on a server, it uses the server's shared IP address - a unique number that is used to detect any device connected to the Web. The domain name which you use for the website is for easy access and convenience of the site visitors, but on a lower level, their web browser connects to the IP address of the server. Because there're far more websites than IP addresses, shared hosting servers use a single IP for many different sites even in case they belong to several users. Even though this does not affect the website performance directly, having a dedicated IP can slightly enhance the loading speed of a given website, granting it superior rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is needed for the setup of an SSL certificate as well, so when you wish to protect the payment or login info that your site visitors submit, you'll need an IP alongside the SSL.
Dedicated IP Address in Cloud Hosting
When you use a cloud hosting account on our cloud platform, you can get a dedicated IP and assign it to any domain or subdomain with a few clicks regardless of where your account is - in the United States, Britain or Australia. This is done through the Hosted Domains area of our intuitive and user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you may also monitor what IPs are available, what are in use and what websites they're assigned to. In case you want to use an SSL certificate to protect the information of your website visitors and you obtain it from us, our system can assign a dedicated IP and install the SSL for you, so you won't have to do anything manually on your end. In the meantime, you may still have a site in a subdomain as an add-on to the main one under a shared IP - a message board where users can share thoughts and opinions about your services, for instance.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding a new dedicated IP address takes just a few clicks. Our Hepsia Control Panel is very simple and intuitive to use, so even when you have not had a web hosting account previously, you won't experience any kind of difficulties to get and assign a dedicated IP. Each domain or subdomain in the account can use its own IP address instead of the server's shared one and you can make this change from the Hosted Domains section, where you'll also see all IPs that your websites can use as well as if a dedicated IP is free or you're already using it. If you want an IP for an SSL certificate, we have an SSL order tool through which you'll be able to select everything to be installed automatically. Using this particular feature, our system will change the IP of the desired domain/subdomain to a dedicated one and it'll set up the certificate in a couple of minutes, so you shall not have to do anything on your end other than authorizing your SSL request through email.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Web Hosting
If you purchase a virtual private server from our company, you'll get a dedicated IP address as standard and an extra one if you acquire a hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You can use the IP addresses for any sort of purpose - a site, some web app such as a VOIP server, even for private name servers that you're able to use to point to your VPS any website which you plan to host. You can also add extra dedicated IPs to your VPS account any time you need them. This can be done through the billing Control Panel that you'll get in order to control renewals, upgrade purchases and domain registrations and it takes no more than a couple of clicks. After you submit your order, the added IP addresses will be available, so you will be able to use them as you see fit.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers Hosting
As our dedicated servers hosting come with 3 dedicated IP addresses provided in the plans as standard, we'll give you a head start in case you wish to run any application which needs such an IP. We provide them at zero cost and you'll be able to 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 website on the server, a software server (online games, VOIP), etc. Through the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you will receive to manage renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you can also acquire more dedicated IP addresses in groups of three any time. They'll be assigned to your server in no time, so that you can start using them for your websites and web-based apps right away.
