All devices on the Internet are identified by a special number called an IP address, such as 123.123.123.123. If you have a website, the domain that you type to load it is to save you time, but the server where your website files are still has an IP. As there are many more websites and devices than there're IP addresses, all shared hosting servers have a number of websites under the same IP, whereas with a dedicated server you'll be given a dedicated IP too. 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 may get improved search engine positions because a dedicated IP generally means a quicker loading website. What's more, you need such an IP in case you intend to obtain an SSL certificate for your website and shield the data that your visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting
In case you host your sites on our cutting-edge cloud platform and you have a shared hosting package, you can add a dedicated IP to your account at any time and assign it to any domain or subdomain with only a few clicks. This option is accessible in all data centers where we offer services - Chicago (US), London (UK) and Sydney (AU), so whatever your choice during the registration process, you can obtain a dedicated IP address for your sites. You'll be able to add / remove an IPas well as to keep track of the free and used ones at any time. In case any of the IPs that you purchase will be used for an SSL certificate, you may activate the automatic configuration feature in our SSL order wizard and our system will request and assign the IP before it installs your certificate automatically. Our versatile platform will enable you to use a dedicated IP for various websites as well if it is not in use by an SSL.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you purchase a semi-dedicated server account from us, you have the opportunity to acquire as many dedicated IP addresses as you would like depending on your preferences. It will take a couple of clicks in the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel to purchase your new IP plus a few more to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The process is very easy and your website will start opening from the new IP address in a few minutes. Hepsia will enable you to view all the IP addresses that you're able to use, both shared and dedicated, and which of the latter are available or taken. Provided you want to use an SSL certificate on any of your websites and you need a dedicated IP for it, you may take advantage of our SSL order wizard, which can assign a new IP and set up the certificate once you submit your order, so you do not need to change anything in your semi-dedicated hosting account manually.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Hosting
In case you acquire a virtual private server from us, you will be given one dedicated IP address as standard and an extra one when you get a website hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You will be able to use the IPs for any kind of purpose - an Internet site, some web application such as a VOIP server, even for private name servers that you'll be able to use to point to your VPS any domain name which you intend to host. Additionally, you can add extra dedicated IP addresses to your VPS account if you need them. You can do this through the billing Control Panel that you'll get in order to manage renewals, upgrade purchases and domain name registrations and it takes just a few clicks. After you upload your order, the additional IP addresses will be available, so you can use them the way you like.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Web Hosting
In case you obtain a dedicated server, you probably plan to run a web app or host a lot of sites, so we provide 3 dedicated IPs completely free with each plan and you'll be able to use them the way you like - a software server, an SSL certificate, even child name servers for a domain that you have registered here or through another company. The last mentioned option is very helpful when you use the dedicated server to host customers' websites because it'll give you credibility and anonymity as a website hosting supplier. The server billing Control Panel will allow you to add additional IP addresses as well - the upgrade is in increments of three and takes just a couple of clicks in the Upgrades section, so you are able to go ahead and employ the new dedicated IPs a couple of minutes after you submit your order.
