All devices on the World Wide Web are identified by a unique number called an IP address, for example 123.123.123.123. In case you have a website, the domain that you enter to load it is for your convenience, however the server where the site files are still has an IP address. Since there're far more websites and devices than there are IPs, all of the shared hosting servers have a number of sites under the very same IP, while when you use a dedicated server you'll have a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you can get a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. An advantage would be that you may have superior search engine rankings as a dedicated IP usually means a faster loading website. What's more, you need such an IP when you intend to obtain an SSL certificate for your website and shield the info that visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Shared Website Hosting
We provide dedicated IP addresses with all of our shared website hosting irrespective of the data center location and you're able to obtain one or several IPs via your Hepsia Control Panel. An extra section will show up as part of your account and you're able to request, view or delete your IPs with a couple of clicks. You will be able to decide what number of websites or subdomains will use a certain IP since you can assign one with a few clicks to every hostname. For instance, www.domain.com can be the main website, which uses a server's shared IP, whereas shop.domain.com can be the subdomain where you offer services or goods on the internet and it can have a dedicated IP address together with an SSL certificate. You can change the IP which a website uses via the Hosted Domains section where you can also keep track which IPs are in use and which ones are available. You may also set a few of your websites to use the same dedicated IP given that there is no SSL installed for it.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
With just a couple of clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to add one or multiple dedicated IP addresses to your semi-dedicated server and assign them to your sites. The Hosted Domains part of Hepsia will help you find the available IP addresses and to keep track of those which are in use with ease. If you would like to obtain a new IP for an SSL certificate, you can use the auto-configuration function, that's available in our SSL order wizard. When you activate this feature, you will not have to do anything after you send in your order as our system will request a dedicated IP address, assign it to the domain or subdomain in question, and then install the SSL certificate - all this automatically and without any action on your end. That way, you will be able to shield the info that visitors upload on your site even when you do not have any previous experience with such matters.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers
All of our VPS servers provide you with one dedicated IP by default and when you obtain a website hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin) during the registration process, you will obtain an extra one as well without charge. You're able to use them as you see fit - to access web content, to manage a web application, to install an SSL certificate, or even to register private name servers for any website that you have and use the latter for any other domain that you need to host on your server. The billing Control Panel where you'll be able to take care of all the plan renewals, upgrades as well as domain registrations will enable you to order extra dedicated IP addresses if you need them for any purpose. Just a couple of minutes later the IPs will be assigned to your Virtual Server and you will be able to use them straight away.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
Because all our dedicated servers feature three dedicated IP addresses provided in the plans by default, we shall give you a head start if you'd like to run any app that requires such an IP. We provide them free of cost and you're able to use them for as long as you use the server for anything you would like - child name servers for any domain that you host, an SSL certificate for any site on the server, a software server (online games, VOIP), and so on. Using the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you will get to take care of renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you'll also be able to obtain more dedicated IPs in sets of three at any time. They will be assigned to your server within a few minutes, so that you can start using them for your sites and web-based applications right away.
