If you host a website on a server, it works by using the server's shared IP address - a unique number that's used to detect any kind of device connected to the Internet. The domain name which you use for the website is for easy accessibility and convenience of the website visitors, but on a lower level, their browser connects to the IP address of the server. As there're far more websites than IPs, shared website hosting servers use a single IP for a variety of websites even in case they are owned by different users. While this doesn't affect your website performance directly, having a dedicated IP may slightly enhance the loading speed of a site, providing it better rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is needed for the installation of an SSL certificate too, so if you want to secure the payment or login info that your website visitors enter, you'll need an IP together with the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting

When you use a shared hosting account on our cloud platform, you're able to buy a dedicated IP address and assign it to any domain or subdomain with a couple of clicks no matter where your account is - in the USA, the UK or Australia. This can be done through the Hosted Domains section of our intuitive and user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you may also monitor what IPs are available, what are in use and what websites they're assigned to. In case you want to use an SSL certificate in order to protect the info 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 be required to anything manually on your end. In the meantime, you can still have a site in a subdomain as an add-on to the main one under a shared IP - a message board where users can share thoughts and opinions about your services, for instance.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding your new dedicated IP takes just a few clicks. Our Hepsia Control Panel is very simple and intuitive to use, so even when you have not had a hosting account previously, you won't encounter any kind of difficulties to order and assign a dedicated IP address. Each domain or subdomain within the account can use its own IP in place of the server's shared one and you can make this change from the Hosted Domains section, where you'll also see all IPs that your websites can use and if a dedicated IP is accessible or you're already using it. If you want an IP for an SSL certificate, we have an SSL order instrument through which you are able to select everything to be installed automatically. With this feature, our system will change the IP address of the desired domain/subdomain to a dedicated one and it'll install the certificate in a matter of minutes, so you won't have to do anything on your end except for approving your SSL order through electronic mail.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS Hosting

If you obtain a virtual private server from our company, you will get a dedicated IP address as standard and an extra one if you obtain a web hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You can use the IPs for any purpose - an Internet site, some web app such as a VOIP server, even for private name servers that you're able to use to point to your VPS any domain name that you intend to host. Additionally, you can add extra dedicated IPs to your VPS account any time you need them. You can do this through the billing Control Panel that you'll receive in order to manage renewals, upgrade purchases and domain name registrations and it will take just a couple of clicks. After you submit your order, the additional IP addresses will be at your disposal, so you'll be able to use them as you see fit.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Web Hosting

All dedicated web hosting that we provide include 3 dedicated IP addresses by default and free of charge. You'll be able to use them for any type of purpose based on the content that you've got on the server - an online game server or a Voice-Over-IP application, an SSL certificate for a website that you host, private name servers for a reseller domain which your customers may use to redirect domains to their web hosting accounts, and much more. You can also obtain more dedicated IPs through the Upgrades part of your billing Control Panel if you need more than the ones that come with the server. You can obtain the IPs in sets of three and they shall be added to your dedicated server soon after you send your order, so that you can start using them without any delays.
