All devices on the World Wide Web are recognized by a specific number called an IP address, for example 123.123.123.123. In case you have a site, the domain that you type to open it is to save you time, yet the server where the site files are still has an IP. Since there are far more sites and devices than there're IPs, all the shared web hosting servers have a number of sites under an identical IP, while with a dedicated server you'll have a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you are able to obtain a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. One advantage would be that you may get far better search engine rankings because a dedicated IP usually means a faster loading website. What is more, you need such an IP when you would like to acquire an SSL certificate for your site and secure the info that visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting

If you use any of our shared hosting plans, you'll be able to add a dedicated IP address to your account in no time and assign it to any domain or subdomain with no more than a few clicks. This is valid whichever data center you have picked for your account during the sign-up process, which means that you'll be able to use this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. This way, you can have a dedicated IP for an e-commerce site, for instance, while a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP as you can edit each and every domain or subdomain individually from the Hosted Domains area of your Hepsia Control Panel. If you need a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you obtain the SSL from our company, you're able to use the auto-configuration tool, that will assign an IP and set up the SSL automatically for the website where you'd like to use them.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you get a semi-dedicated server account through us, you will have the option to get as many dedicated IPs as you need depending on your business needs. It takes just a few clicks in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel to purchase your new IP plus a few more so as to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The whole process is very simple and your website will start opening from the new IP address in a few minutes. Hepsia will enable you to see all IPs which you are able to use, both shared and dedicated, and which of the latter are free or taken. Provided you'd like to use an SSL certificate on some of your sites and you need a dedicated IP for it, you may take advantage of our SSL order wizard, that will assign a new IP and set up the certificate the moment you send your order, so you do not need to modify anything in your semi-dedicated web hosting account manually.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Hosting

If you obtain a dedicated server, you probably plan to run a web application or host a number of Internet sites, so we supply 3 dedicated IPs without charge with every single plan and you can use them the way you like - a software server, an SSL certificate, even child name servers for a domain name which you have registered here or from another company. The last mentioned option is very helpful in case you use the dedicated server to host clients' websites because it'll give you authority and anonymity as a website hosting supplier. The server billing Control Panel will enable you to add extra IPs as well - the upgrade is in increments of three and takes just a few clicks in the Upgrades section, therefore you will be able to go ahead and use the brand new dedicated IPs a few minutes after you send your order.
