If you host a website on a server, it works by using the server's shared IP address - a unique number which is used to distinguish a device connected to the Web. The website name that you use for the website is for easy accessibility and convenience of the website visitors, but on a lower level, their browser connects to the IP address of the server. Considering that there are many more websites than IPs, shared web hosting servers use the very same IP for a variety of websites even in case they belong to different users. While this does not affect your site performance directly, using a dedicated IP can slightly improve the loading speed of a particular site, giving it superior rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is required for the installation of an SSL certificate too, so if you plan to secure the payment or login data that your site visitors enter, you'll need an IP along with the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Website Hosting

When you use a website hosting account on our cloud platform, you are able to purchase a dedicated IP address and assign it to any domain or subdomain with just a few clicks regardless of where your account is - in the United States, the United Kingdom or Australia. This is done through the Hosted Domains area of the intuitive and user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you can also monitor what IPs are available, what are in use and what sites they are assigned to. If you want to use an SSL certificate in order to protect the info of your visitors and you acquire it from our company, 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. Meanwhile, you may still have a website in a subdomain as an addition to the main one under a shared IP - a community forum where users can share opinions about your services, for example.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting

With just a couple of clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to add one or several dedicated IP addresses to your semi-dedicated hosting and assign them to your websites. The Hosted Domains part of Hepsia will allow you to view the available IPs and to check the ones that are in use in no time. If you wish to get a new IP for an SSL certificate, you'll be able to use the auto-configuration function, that's available in our SSL order wizard. When you activate this feature, you will not need to do anything after you submit your order since our system will request a dedicated IP, assign it to the domain or subdomain in question, then install the SSL certificate - all this automatically and without the need of any action on your end. This way, you're able to secure the details that visitors post on your website even when you don't have any previous experience with this type of matters.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS Hosting

In case you acquire a virtual private server from us, you'll be given one dedicated IP address as standard and an additional one in case you acquire a web hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You will be able to use the IPs for any sort of purpose - a website, some web application such as a VOIP server, even for private name servers that you can use to point to your VPS any domain that you would like to host. You may also add more dedicated IPs to the VPS account any time you need them. You can do this via the billing Control Panel that you will obtain so as to manage renewals, upgrade purchases and domain name registrations and it will take only a couple of clicks. Shortly after you send your order, the additional IP addresses will be available, so you'll be able to use them as you see fit.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Web Hosting

Because it is possible to run pretty much anything on a dedicated server, all of our packages come with 3 dedicated IP addresses included by default. If you would like to launch some server software or to activate an SSL certificate for a site that you host on the machine, you are able to use the IPs that we provide without charge. You may also register child name servers with one or two of the IP addresses for any website name that you have registered through our company or somewhere else and employ them to direct other domains to the dedicated server. When you own a web hosting company, for example, the aforementioned option will contribute to your credibility as a standalone supplier. When you need more IPs than the three the plans come with, you are able to get extra ones in increments of three either during the signup process or through your billing Control Panel at any time.
