If you host a site on a server, it uses the server's shared IP address - a special number which is used to distinguish every device connected to the World Wide Web. The domain name which you use for the site is for quick access and convenience of the visitors, but on a more basic level, their browser connects to the IP address of the server. Considering that there're far more sites than IP addresses, shared website hosting servers use the very same IP for many different sites even if they belong to separate users. Even though this does not affect the website performance directly, using a dedicated IP may slightly improve the loading speed of a particular site, granting it superior rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is necessary for the setup of an SSL certificate as well, so when you plan to secure the payment or login info that your site visitors enter, you need an IP in addition to the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Cloud Hosting

When you use any of our cloud hosting packages, you can add a dedicated IP address to your account with ease and assign it to a domain or subdomain with just a couple of clicks. This is valid whichever data center you've selected for the account during the signup process, thus you're able to take advantage of this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. In this way, you can have a dedicated IP for an electronic commerce website, for instance, whereas a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP as you can modify each domain or subdomain independently through the Hosted Domains area of your Hepsia Control Panel. If you need a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you get the SSL through us, you'll be able to use our auto-configuration instrument, that will assign an IP and install the SSL automatically for the website where you would like to use them.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting

With just a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to add one or multiple dedicated IP addresses to your semi-dedicated hosting and assign them to your sites. The Hosted Domains section of Hepsia will help you find the available IPs and to keep track of those which are in use in no time. If you wish to obtain a new IP for an SSL certificate, you can use the auto-configuration function, that is available in our SSL order wizard. If you activate this option, you won't have to do anything after you send in your order because our system will request a dedicated IP, assign it to the domain or subdomain in question, then install the SSL certificate - all this automatically and without the need of any action on your end. This way, you will be able to protect the information that visitors post on your site even when you do not have any previous experience with this type of matters.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS Hosting

In case you buy a virtual private server from us, you will receive one dedicated IP address automatically and a second one if you get a hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You'll be able to use the IP addresses for any sort of purpose - a website, 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 would like to host. Also, you can add more dedicated IP addresses to the VPS account every time you need them. You can do this through the billing Control Panel that you'll receive in order to manage renewals, upgrades and domain name registrations and it will take no more than a couple of clicks. Soon after you post your order, the extra IP addresses will be available, so you'll be able to use them the way you like.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Web Hosting

Because you'll be able to run pretty much anything on a dedicated server, all our packages feature 3 dedicated IP addresses included as standard. In case you plan 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 that we provide you with free of charge. In addition, you can register child name servers with one or two of the IPs for any domain name that you have registered with our company or anywhere else and employ them to direct other domains to the dedicated server. When you own a hosting company, for instance, this option will contribute to your credibility as an independent service provider. If you need more IPs than the three our plans feature, you will be able to purchase extra ones in increments of three either throughout the signup process or through your billing Control Panel any time.
