All devices on the Web are identified by a special number called an IP address, for example 123.123.123.123. If you have a website, the domain that you type to be able to access it is for your convenience, but the server where your site files are still has an IP address. As there're a lot more websites and devices than there're IPs, all the shared hosting servers have a number of sites under the same IP, while with a dedicated server you'll have a dedicated IP too. Even in the first case though, you will be able to acquire a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. One benefit would be that you'll enjoy far better search engine positions since a dedicated IP often means a faster loading site. Also, you need such an IP if you plan to buy an SSL certificate for your site and shield the info that your visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting

In case you host your websites on our innovative cloud platform and you have a shared hosting package, you can add a dedicated IP to your account at any moment and assign it to any domain or subdomain with just a few clicks. The aforementioned option is available in all the data center facilities where we offer services - Chicago (US), Coventry (UK) and Sydney (AU), so irrespective of your choice during the registration process, you'll be able to get a dedicated IP address for your websites. You'll be able to add or remove an IPas well as to keep track of the free and used ones at any moment. If any of the IPs that you purchase will be used for an SSL certificate, you could enable the automatic configuration attribute in our SSL order wizard then our system will request and assign the IP before it sets up the certificate automatically. Our flexible platform will enable you to use a dedicated IP address for a number of websites as well if it's not in use by an SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers

With just a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel, you can add one or a variety of dedicated IP addresses to your semi-dedicated server and assign them to your websites. The Hosted Domains section of Hepsia will help you find the available IPs and to check those that are in use with ease. Provided you want to get a new IP for an SSL certificate, you can use the auto-configuration function, that's available in our SSL order wizard. When you activate this option, you won't need to do anything after you post your order since our system will request a dedicated IP address, assign it to the domain or subdomain in question, then install the SSL certificate - all of this automatically and without any action on your end. In this way, you're able to shield the information that visitors post on your site even when you lack previous experience with such matters.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers

In case you get a VPS server from our company, you'll get a dedicated IP address as standard and another one if you get a website hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You will be able to use the IPs for any purpose - a site, some web app such as a VOIP server, even for private name servers that you are able to use to point to your VPS any domain name which you wish to host. In addition, you can add more dedicated IP addresses to your VPS account any time you need them. This can be done from the billing Control Panel that you will receive to manage renewals, upgrades and domain registrations and it will take only a few clicks. Shortly after you submit your order, the additional IP addresses will be available, so you're able to use them as you see fit.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

In case you obtain a dedicated server, you probably would like to run some web application or host a number of Internet sites, so we supply three dedicated IPs without charge with each 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 via another company. The aforementioned option is very useful in case you use your dedicated server to host clients' websites since it'll give you authority and anonymity as a web hosting service provider. The server billing Control Panel will enable you to add extra IP addresses as well - the upgrade is in increments of three and takes just a couple of clicks in the Upgrades section, which means that you are able to go ahead and take advantage of your new dedicated IPs a couple of minutes after you submit your order.
