All devices on the World Wide Web are recognized by a special number called an IP address, for instance 123.123.123.123. If you have a website, the domain that you type to load it is for your convenience, however the server where the website files are still has an IP address. Due to the fact that there are far more websites and devices than there are IPs, all of the shared hosting servers have a number of sites under an identical IP, while with a dedicated server you'll be given a dedicated IP too. Even in the first case though, you can get a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. One benefit would be that you may get better search engine rankings because a dedicated IP generally means a quicker loading website. What is more, you need such an IP in case you would like to obtain an SSL certificate for your site and protect the data that visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Shared Web Hosting
If you use any of our shared web hosting packages, you will be able to add a dedicated IP to your account in no time and assign it to any domain or subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks. This is valid whichever data center you have selected for the account during the registration process, so you can use this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. In this way, you can have a dedicated IP for an electronic commerce site, for example, whereas a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP since you can edit each and every domain or subdomain independently through the Hosted Domains section of your Hepsia Control Panel. When you need a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you acquire the SSL from our company, you will be able to use our auto-configuration tool, which will assign an IP and install the SSL automatically for the site where you want to use them.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you get a semi-dedicated server account through us, you'll have the opportunity to acquire as many dedicated IPs as you'd like depending on your preferences. It will take just a few clicks inside the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel to acquire a new IP plus several more to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The process is very simple and your website will start loading from your new IP address in minutes. Hepsia will allow you to see all IPs which you can use, both shared & dedicated, and which of the latter are available or taken. Provided you'd like to use an SSL certificate on some of your sites and you need a dedicated IP for it, you may take full advantage of our SSL order wizard, that will assign a new IP and set up the certificate the moment you send your order, so you won't need to customize anything in your semi-dedicated web hosting account manually.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers
All VPS servers that we offer come with a dedicated IP, so you will not share your IP with some other client with an account on the very same machine. If you select a hosting Control Panel for the server throughout the signup process, you'll receive a second dedicated IP as well and you're able to use it for any content that you host on your VPS - a site, an application, an SSL certificate, a VOIP server, and so on. In case you need more IPs, you can order them as an additional upgrade through your billing Control Panel and they'll be assigned to your server quickly. You'll be able to control your IPs without any difficulty through your web hosting Control Panel and the virtualization admin panel that you will get to command the virtual machine.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
All the Linux dedicated servers that we offer include three dedicated IP addresses as standard and cost-free. You are able to use them for any kind of purpose according to the content that you've got on your server - an online game server or a Voice-Over-IP app, an SSL certificate for a website that you host, private name servers for a reseller domain that your customers may use to point domains to their hosting accounts, etc. What's more, you can purchase extra dedicated IP addresses from the Upgrades part of your billing Control Panel if you need more than the ones that come with the plan. You are able to obtain the IPs in groups of three and they will be added to your dedicated server shortly after you send your order, so you can use them without any delays.
