All devices on the World Wide Web are recognized by a unique number called an IP address, for example 123.123.123.123. If you have a website, the domain name that you type in order to open it is for your convenience, yet the server where the website files are still has an IP address. Considering that there are many more sites and devices than there are IP addresses, all of the shared hosting servers have a number of websites under the very same IP, while using a dedicated server you'll get a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you're able to obtain a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. One advantage would be that you may get far better search engine rankings since a dedicated IP usually means a faster loading site. What is more, you need such an IP if you intend to obtain an SSL certificate for your site and protect the info that your visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting
Using a shared hosting account on our cloud platform, you'll be able to obtain a dedicated IP address and assign it to any domain or subdomain with several clicks no matter where your account is - in the United States, Great Britain or Australia. This can be done through the Hosted Domains section of our intuitive and user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you can also keep track of what IPs are available, what are in use and what sites they're allotted to. In case you wish to use an SSL certificate so as to protect the information of your site visitors and you get it from us, our system will assign a dedicated IP and set up the SSL for you, so you will not have to do anything manually on your end. In the meantime, you may still have a website in a subdomain as an add-on to the main one under a shared IP - a discussion board where users can share thoughts and opinions about your services, for example.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding your new dedicated IP takes just a couple of clicks. Our Hepsia Control Panel is very easy and intuitive to use, so even if you haven't had a website hosting account before, you won't experience any difficulties to order and assign a dedicated IP. Every domain or subdomain in the account can use its own IP address instead of the server's shared one and you will be able to make this change in the Hosted Domains section, where you can also see all IPs that your sites 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're able to select everything to be installed automatically. When you use this feature, our system will change the IP of the desired domain/subdomain to a dedicated one and it will set up the certificate in a matter of minutes, so you won't have to do anything on your end except for authorizing your SSL order via email.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers
All Linux VPS plans that we supply feature a dedicated IP, so you will not share the IP with any other client with an account on the same server. If you choose a hosting Control Panel for the server throughout the registration process, you will receive one more dedicated IP as well and you can use it for any content which you host on your VPS - a site, an app, an SSL certificate, a VOIP server, and so on. In case you would like to have more IP addresses, you are able to order them as a further upgrade from your billing Control Panel and they will be assigned to your server very quickly. You can control your IPs without difficulty using your website hosting Control Panel and the virtualization admin panel which you'll get to maintain the virtual machine.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
If you acquire a dedicated server, you probably plan to run a web application or host a lot of sites, so we supply 3 dedicated IPs for free with every single package and you will be able to use them the way you like - a software server, an SSL certificate, even child name servers for a domain which you've registered here or through another company. The last option is really helpful if you use the dedicated server to host clients' sites considering that it'll give you trustworthiness and anonymity as a web hosting company. The server billing Control Panel will allow you to add more 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're able to go ahead and start using your brand new dedicated IP addresses several minutes after you send your order.
