All devices on the Internet are recognized by a unique number called an IP address, such as 123.123.123.123. In case you have a site, the domain name that you enter to be able to load it is to save you time, yet the server where your website files are still has an IP address. As there're far more sites and devices than there're IPs, all the shared web hosting servers have a number of websites under an identical IP, whereas using a dedicated server you will have a dedicated IP too. Even in the first case though, you will be able to get a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. One benefit would be that you may enjoy better search engine rankings because a dedicated IP generally means a faster loading website. In addition, you need such an IP when you would like to acquire an SSL certificate for your site and protect the data that visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting
In case you host your websites on our innovative cloud platform and you have a shared hosting package, you will 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 of the data centers where we supply services - Chicago (US), London (UK) and Sydney (AU), so irrespective of your choice during the registration process, you're able to get a dedicated IP address for your sites. You can add / remove an IPas well as to keep track of the free and used ones at any time. In case any of the IPs that you purchase will be used for an SSL certificate, you can activate the automatic configuration attribute in our SSL order wizard then our system will request & assign the IP before it installs your certificate automatically. Our versatile platform will allow you to use a dedicated IP address for various websites as well if it is not in use by an SSL.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding your new dedicated IP takes no more than a few clicks. Our Hepsia Control Panel is very easy and intuitive to use, so even if you have not had a hosting account previously, you will not have any difficulties to order and assign a dedicated IP. Every domain or subdomain inside the account can use its own IP address in place of the server's shared one and you are able to make this change inside the Hosted Domains section, where you can also find all IPs that your sites can use as well as if a dedicated IP is available or you are already using it. If you wish to have an IP for an SSL certificate, we have an SSL order tool through which you are able to select everything to be installed automatically. When you use this feature, our system will change the IP address 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 except for approving your SSL order through e-mail.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
If you need a dedicated server, you probably would like to run a web app or host a lot of sites, so we supply 3 dedicated IP addresses free of cost with every single plan and you're able to use them as you see fit - a software server, an SSL certificate, even child name servers for a domain name that you've registered here or via another company. The last mentioned option is very helpful in case you use your dedicated server to host clients' sites since it will give you trustworthiness and anonymity as a web hosting supplier. The server billing Control Panel will make it easier to add extra IPs as well - the upgrade is in increments of three and takes just a few clicks in the Upgrades section, which means that you are able to go ahead and use the new dedicated IPs a couple of minutes after you submit your order.
