When you host a website on a server, it makes use of the server's shared IP - a special number which is used to identify a device connected to the Net. The website name that you use for the site is for easy access and convenience of the website visitors, but on a lower level, their Internet browser connects to the IP of the server. Considering that there are a lot more sites than IP addresses, shared hosting servers use a single IP for several websites even in case they belong to several users. While this doesn't affect your site performance directly, using a dedicated IP may slightly boost the loading speed of a given site, giving it higher rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is needed for the setup of an SSL certificate as well, so when you plan to protect the payment or login data that your site visitors submit, you will need an IP alongside the SSL.
Dedicated IP Address in Cloud Hosting
We provide you with dedicated IP addresses with all our Linux cloud hosting irrespective of the data center location and you'll be able to obtain one or several IPs via your Hepsia Control Panel. A new section will appear as part of your account and you will be able to request, delete or view your IPs with a couple of clicks. You'll be able to choose what number of domains or subdomains will use a certain IP since you can assign one with a few clicks to every hostname. For example, www.domain.com can be your main website, that uses a server's shared IP, and shop.domain.com can be the subdomain where you offer services or goods on the internet and it could have a dedicated IP address combined with an SSL certificate. You can change the IP which a domain uses via 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 a single dedicated IP as long as there is no SSL set up for it.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding a 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 will not encounter any kind of difficulties to acquire and assign a dedicated IP. Each domain or subdomain within the account can use its own IP instead of the server's shared one and you will be able to make this change inside the Hosted Domains section, where you can also find all IPs that your sites can use and if a dedicated IP is free or you are already using it. In case that you wish to have an IP for an SSL certificate, we have an SSL order instrument through which you can select everything to be installed automatically. When you use this particular feature, our system will modify the IP address of the desired domain/subdomain to a dedicated one and it'll set up the certificate within minutes, so you will not have to do anything on your end except for authorizing the SSL order through e-mail.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers
All of our Linux VPS servers come with one dedicated IP as standard and if you pick a web hosting Control Panel (cPanel, Hepsia) during the registration process, you will acquire an extra one too free of charge. You will be able to use them as you decide - to access online content, to run a web app, to set up an SSL certificate, or even to register private name servers for any website that you have and use the latter for any other website that you want to host on the server. The billing Control Panel where you are able to manage all the plan renewals, upgrades as well as domain name registrations will allow you to order extra dedicated IP addresses when you need them for any purpose. Just a couple of minutes later the IPs will be assigned to your Virtual Server and you can use them immediately.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
If you obtain a dedicated server, you probably plan to run a web app or host a number of websites, so we provide three dedicated IP addresses free of charge with each plan and you'll be 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 from another company. The aforementioned option is very useful if you use your dedicated server to host users' sites because it'll give you credibility and anonymity as a hosting company. The server billing Control Panel will enable you to add extra IPs as well - the upgrade comes in increments of three and takes only a couple of clicks in the Upgrades section, so you can go ahead and start using the brand new dedicated IP addresses just a couple of minutes after you submit your order.
