All devices on the Web are recognized by a unique number called an IP address, such as 123.123.123.123. When you have a website, the domain name that you type in order to access it is for your convenience, but the server where the website files are still has an IP address. Considering that there're a lot more sites and devices than there are IP addresses, all of the shared hosting servers have a number of websites under the same IP, while using a dedicated server you will 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. An advantage would be that you will have superior search engine rankings because a dedicated IP generally means a faster loading website. Furthermore, you need such an IP if you would like to get an SSL certificate for your site and protect the info that visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting
When you use a shared hosting account on our cloud platform, you will be able to get a dedicated IP and assign it to any domain or subdomain with a couple of clicks wherever your account is - in the United States, the United Kingdom or Australia. This is done through the Hosted Domains section of the intuitive and user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you may also keep track of what IPs are available, what are in use and what websites they're assigned to. When you would like to use an SSL certificate to secure the info of your site visitors and you acquire it from us, our system can assign a dedicated IP and install the SSL for you, so you won't be required to anything manually on your end. Meanwhile, you may still have a site in a subdomain as an addition to the main one under a shared IP address - a discussion board where users can share thoughts and opinions about your services, for example.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding your new dedicated IP address takes no more than a couple of clicks. Our Hepsia Control Panel is very simple and intuitive to use, so even if you have not had a web hosting account previously, you won't encounter any difficulties to obtain and assign a dedicated IP address. Each domain or subdomain within the account can use its own IP address in place of the server's shared one and you're able to make this change inside the Hosted Domains section, where you can also find all IPs that your websites can use and if a dedicated IP is free or you're already using it. In case that you want an IP for an SSL certificate, we have an SSL order instrument through which you will be able to select everything to be installed automatically. When you use this feature, our system will modify the IP of the desired domain/subdomain to a dedicated one and it will install the certificate in a matter of minutes, so you will not need to do anything on your end apart from approving the SSL request through electronic mail.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Hosting
If you get a virtual private server from our company, you'll get a dedicated IP address automatically and a second one if you get a website hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You can use the IP addresses for any purpose - a site, some web application such as a VOIP server, even for private name servers that you are able to use to point to your VPS any domain name that you intend to host. You may also add more dedicated IP addresses to your VPS account every time you need them. This can be done via the billing Control Panel that you will receive to control renewals, upgrades and domain name registrations and it takes just a couple of clicks. After you submit your order, the added IP addresses will be available, so you can use them the way you like.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Web Hosting
All dedicated servers hosting packages that we offer come with three dedicated IP addresses as standard and cost-free. You can use them for any type of purpose according to the content that you have on the server - a video game server or a Voice-Over-IP application, an SSL certificate for a website that you host, private name servers for a reseller domain which your clients can use to direct domain names to their web hosting accounts, and many more. What's more, you can purchase additional dedicated IPs through the Upgrades part of your billing Control Panel in case you need more than the ones which come with your plan. You're able to acquire the IPs in sets of three and they will be added to your dedicated server soon after you submit your order, so you can start using them without delays.
