All devices on the Internet are identified by a specific number called an IP address, such as 123.123.123.123. When you have a website, the domain name that you type to be able to load it is for your convenience, but the server where the website files are still has an IP address. As there are many more sites and devices than there are IP addresses, all of the shared web hosting servers have a number of sites under the same IP, whereas with a dedicated server you will have a dedicated IP too. Even in the first case though, you are able to obtain a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. An advantage would be that you will get far better search engine positions because a dedicated IP generally means a faster loading website. Furthermore, you need such an IP in case you would like to obtain an SSL certificate for your site and secure the info that visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Hosting

If you host your sites on our revolutionary cloud platform and you have a hosting plan, you'll be able to add a dedicated IP to your account at any moment and assign it to any domain or subdomain with only a few clicks. This option is accessible in all data centers where we supply services - Chicago (US), Coventry (UK) and Sydney (AU), so irrespective of your choice throughout the registration process, you're able to get a dedicated IP address for your sites. You'll be able to add / remove an IPas well as to keep track of the free and used ones at any time. If any of the IPs that you buy will be used for an SSL certificate, you may activate the automatic configuration feature in our SSL order wizard and our system will request & assign the IP before it sets up your certificate automatically. Our flexible platform will allow you to use a dedicated IP address for multiple websites as well if it's not in use by an SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you get a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you have the opportunity to acquire as many dedicated IP addresses as you would like depending on the needs you have. It takes a couple of clicks inside the Hepsia hosting Control Panel to purchase your new IP and several more so as to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The entire process is really easy and your website will start opening from your new IP address in no time. Hepsia will enable you to see all IPs that you're able to use, both shared and dedicated, and which of the latter are free or taken. Provided you'd like to use an SSL certificate on any of your websites and you want a dedicated IP for it, you can take advantage of our SSL order wizard, which can assign a new IP and install the certificate as soon as you upload your order, so you don't have to modify anything in your semi-dedicated hosting account manually.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

Because it's possible to run more or less anything on a dedicated server, all of our plans come with three dedicated IP addresses included as standard. If you plan to launch some server software or to set up an SSL certificate for a site that you host on the machine, you are able to use the IPs that we provide without charge. You can also register child name servers with one or two of the IP addresses for any domain name that you have registered with us or somewhere else and then employ them to point other domains to the dedicated server. If you have a hosting company, for instance, the aforementioned option will contribute to your credibility as a standalone supplier. When you need more IPs than the three the plans include, you are able to purchase extra ones in increments of three either throughout the registration process or from your billing Control Panel at any time.
