All devices on the World Wide Web are identified by a unique number called an IP address, for instance 123.123.123.123. In case you have a website, the domain that you type to be able to open it is to save you time, however the server where your site files are still has an IP address. Because there are far more sites and devices than there are IP addresses, all shared hosting servers have a number of sites under an identical IP, whereas when you use a dedicated server you'll get a dedicated IP too. Even in the first case though, you will be able to acquire a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. An advantage would be that you may get better search engine rankings since a dedicated IP often means a quicker loading site. What's more, you need such an IP in case you intend to get an SSL certificate for your site and shield the data that your visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Cloud Hosting

When you use a cloud hosting account on our cloud platform, you are able to acquire a dedicated IP address and assign it to any domain or subdomain with a couple of clicks regardless of where your account is - in the USA, the UK or Australia. This can be done from the Hosted Domains part of our intuitive and user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you may also monitor what IPs are available, what are in use and what sites they are allotted to. When you wish to use an SSL certificate in order to protect the information of your site visitors and you get it from our company, our system can assign a dedicated IP and install the SSL for you, so you won't have to do anything manually on your end. In the meantime, you can still have a website in a subdomain as an add-on to the main one under a shared IP - a discussion forum where users can share their opinion about your services, for example.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you buy a semi-dedicated server account through our company, you have the option to get as many dedicated IPs as you need depending on your needs. It will take a few clicks in the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel to acquire a new IP and a couple of more to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The process is very simple and your website will start opening from your new IP address in minutes. Hepsia will allow you to view all of the IP addresses which you're able to use, both shared & dedicated, and which of the latter are available or taken. If you want to use an SSL certificate on some of your websites and you want a dedicated IP for it, you may take full advantage of our SSL order wizard, which will assign a new IP and install the certificate as soon as you send your order, so you do not have to customize anything in your semi-dedicated web hosting account by yourself.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

As all of our dedicated servers come with three dedicated IP addresses provided in the plans by default, we'll give you a serious advantage in case you want to run any application which needs this type of an IP. We provide them cost-free and you can use them for as long as you use the server for anything you would like - child name servers for any domain name that you host, an SSL certificate for any site on your server, a software server (online games, VOIP), etcetera. Through the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you will obtain to manage renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you can also get more dedicated IPs in sets of three whenever you want. They'll be assigned to your server in no time, so that you can start using them for your websites and web-based apps right away.
