If you host a site on a server, it uses the server's shared IP address - a unique number that's used to detect any kind of device connected to the Net. The website name that you use for the site is for quick access and convenience of the visitors, but on a lower level, their browser connects to the IP address of the server. Because there are a lot more sites than IPs, shared web hosting servers use the same IP for multiple websites even if they belong to several users. Even though this does not affect your site performance directly, having a dedicated IP may slightly increase the loading speed of a site, providing it higher rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is required for the setup of an SSL certificate as well, so when you want to secure the payment or login info that your website visitors enter, you need an IP along with the SSL.
Dedicated IP Address in Shared Web Hosting
When you use some of our shared web hosting plans, you'll be able to add a dedicated IP address to your account with ease and assign it to any domain or subdomain with just a few clicks. This is valid no matter which data center you have picked for your account during the sign-up process, therefore you'll be able to take advantage of this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. In this way, you can have a dedicated IP for an electronic commerce site, for instance, whereas a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP as you can adjust each and every domain or subdomain individually through the Hosted Domains part of your Hepsia Control Panel. When you need a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you obtain the SSL through us, you can use the auto-configuration tool, which will assign an IP and set up the SSL automatically for the site where you want to use them.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
The Hepsia Control Panel, which is provided with our semi-dedicated server plans, will make it really easy to get a dedicated IP and use it for each site that you have in your account irrespective of whether it is under a domain or a subdomain. With only a couple of clicks you'll be able to order the IP and when our system assigns it, you can set it for one or several sites through the Hosted Domains part of the Control Panel. In the same place you'll also be able to find what IP is used by each domain or subdomain, an index of the dedicated IP addresses as well as if and what site they are assigned to? In case the IP you will need is for an SSL certificate, you'll be able to take advantage of our helpful SSL wizard that will make the entire process very simple as it will request and assign an IP to the desired domain/subdomain and then install the SSL without any action on your side other than placing your order.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers
Our VPS servers feature one dedicated IP by default and when you obtain a web hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, DirectAdmin, cPanel) during the signup process, you'll get an extra one as well completely free. You can employ them as you see fit - to access web 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 intend to host on your server. The billing Control Panel where you can take care of all plan renewals, upgrades as well as domain registrations will enable you to order extra dedicated IPs in case you need them for any purpose. A few minutes later the IPs will be assigned to your Virtual Server and you can use them without delay.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
All of the dedicated servers that we provide feature three dedicated IP addresses by default and absolutely free. You can use them for any purpose based on the content that you have on the server - a video game server or a Voice-Over-IP application, an SSL certificate for a website that you host, private name servers for a reseller domain that your customers may use to redirect domains to their website hosting accounts, etc. What's more, you can order additional dedicated IP addresses from the Upgrades section of your billing Control Panel in case you need more than the ones which come with the plan. You're able to buy the IPs in sets of three and they'll be added to your dedicated server right after you submit your order, so that you can use them without delays.
