All devices on the Internet are identified by a specific number called an IP address, for instance 123.123.123.123. When you have a site, the domain that you type to be able to load it is to save you time, yet the server where the website files are still has an IP. As there are a lot more websites and devices than there are IPs, all the shared hosting servers have a number of websites under the very same IP, while using a dedicated server you'll have 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. An advantage would be that you'll enjoy improved search engine rankings since a dedicated IP usually means a quicker loading site. Also, you need such an IP when you would like to buy an SSL certificate for your website and shield the data that visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Web Hosting
We provide dedicated IP addresses with all our Linux web hosting services irrespective of the data center location and you'll be able to buy one or several IPs through your Hepsia Control Panel. An extra section will appear in your account and you'll be able to request, delete or view your IPs with several clicks. You're able to choose how many sites or subdomains will use a certain IP as you can assign one with a few clicks to any hostname. To give an example, www.domain.com can be the main site, that uses a server's shared IP, whereas shop.domain.com can be your subdomain where you offer goods or services online and it could have a dedicated IP in addition to an SSL certificate. You can switch the IP that a site uses through the Hosted Domains section where you can also keep track which IPs are in use and which ones are available. You can also set a few of your websites to use one and the same dedicated IP as long as there's no SSL set up for it.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding a new dedicated IP takes just a few clicks. Our Hepsia Control Panel is very easy and intuitive to use, so even when you have not had a website hosting account before, you will not experience any kind of difficulties to obtain and assign a dedicated IP address. Any domain or subdomain inside the account can use its own IP as an alternative to the server's shared one and you'll be able to make this change inside 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 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'll set up the certificate within a matter of minutes, so you shall not have to do anything on your end other than authorizing the SSL request through e-mail.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Hosting
If you obtain a virtual private server from us, you'll get one dedicated IP address by default and a second one when you get a website hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You'll be able to use the IPs for any kind of purpose - an Internet 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 wish to host. Also, you can add more dedicated IP addresses to the VPS account when you need them. This can be done through the billing Control Panel that you'll obtain to manage renewals, upgrade purchases and domain registrations and it takes only a few clicks. After you upload your order, the additional IP addresses will be available, so you'll be able to use them the way you like.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Web Hosting
In case you get a dedicated server, you probably want to run some web app or host a lot of Internet sites, so we supply three dedicated IPs for free with each plan and you're able to use them as you decide - a software server, an SSL certificate, even child name servers for a domain that you've registered here or via another company. The aforementioned option is really helpful if you use your dedicated server to host clients' Internet sites as it will give you credibility and anonymity as a hosting company. The server billing Control Panel will allow you to add extra IP addresses as well - the upgrade is in increments of three and takes just a few clicks in the Upgrades section, therefore you are able to go ahead and use your brand new dedicated IP addresses just a few minutes after you send your order.
