All devices on the Internet are recognized by a specific number called an IP address, for instance 123.123.123.123. In case you have a website, the domain name that you type to access it is for your convenience, but the server where the site files are still has an IP. Because there are far more websites and devices than there're IPs, all shared hosting servers have a number of websites under the same IP, whereas when you use a dedicated server you'll have a dedicated IP too. Even in the first case though, you can get a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. One benefit would be that you'll have far better search engine positions as a dedicated IP often means a quicker loading website. What's more, you need such an IP in case you intend to purchase an SSL certificate for your website and shield the info that your visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Web Hosting

We supply dedicated IP addresses with all our web hosting plans whatever the data center location and you can obtain one or several IPs using your Hepsia Control Panel. An additional section will appear as part of your account and you will be able to request, view or delete your IPs with just a few clicks. You are able to choose how many sites or subdomains will use a given IP as you can assign one with a few clicks to any hostname. For instance, www.domain.com can be the main website, that uses a server's shared IP, while shop.domain.com can be a subdomain where you offer services or goods on the web and it could have a dedicated IP in addition to an SSL certificate. You can change the IP that a website uses through the Hosted Domains section where you can also keep track which IPs are in use and which ones are available. You may also set a few of your sites to use one and the same dedicated IP provided that there is no SSL installed for it.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers

With just a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to add one or several dedicated IP addresses to your semi-dedicated server and assign them to your sites. The Hosted Domains section of Hepsia will allow you to view the available IP addresses and to check those that are in use in no time. Provided you want to acquire a new IP for an SSL certificate, you will be able to use the auto-configuration function, which is available in our SSL order wizard. When you activate this feature, you will not have to do anything after you post your order as our system will request a dedicated IP address, assign it to the domain or subdomain involved, then install the SSL certificate - all this automatically and without any action on your end. That way, you are able to shield the details that visitors submit on your website even if you lack previous experience with such matters.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers

If you acquire a VPS server from us, you will be given a dedicated IP address as standard and another one in case you obtain a website hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You are able to use the IPs for any purpose - a 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 which you would like to host. You can also add more dedicated IPs to your VPS account any time you need them. This can be done through the billing Control Panel that you will get so as to control renewals, upgrade purchases and domain registrations and it takes no more than a few clicks. After you send your order, the added IP addresses will be available, so you will be able to use them as you see fit.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

Because you are able to run almost anything on a dedicated server, all our packages feature three dedicated IP addresses included as standard. In case you need to launch some server software or to install an SSL certificate for a website that you host on the machine, you will be able to use the IPs which we provide without charge. You may also register child name servers with one or two of the IPs for any domain name that you've registered with our company or somewhere else and then employ them to direct other domains to the dedicated server. When you run a website hosting company, for example, this option will contribute to your credibility as a standalone provider. In case you need more IP addresses than the three our plans come with, you can get additional ones in increments of three either throughout the signup process or from your billing Control Panel any time.
