All devices on the Web are recognized by a unique number called an IP address, such as 123.123.123.123. In case you have a site, the domain that you type to access it is for your convenience, yet the server where the site files are still has an IP address. Since there are many more sites and devices than there're IPs, all the shared website hosting servers have a number of sites under an identical IP, whereas with a dedicated server you'll be given 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 advantage would be that you may have improved search engine rankings since a dedicated IP generally means a faster loading site. What is more, you need such an IP if you plan to acquire an SSL certificate for your site and protect the data that your visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Hosting
If you use some of our hosting packages, you will be able to add a dedicated IP to your account without difficulty and assign it to a domain or subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks. This is valid no matter which data center you have picked for the account during the sign-up process, so you are able to take advantage of this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. This way, you can have a dedicated IP for an e-commerce website, for instance, whereas a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP as you can edit each domain or subdomain independently from the Hosted Domains part of your Hepsia Control Panel. If you would like a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you get the SSL from our company, you're able to use our auto-configuration tool, which will assign an IP and install the SSL automatically for the site where you'd like to use them.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting
When you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding your new dedicated IP address takes just a couple of clicks. Our Hepsia Control Panel is very easy and intuitive to use, so even if you have not had a website hosting account before, you will not experience any kind of difficulties to order and assign a dedicated IP. Every domain or subdomain within the account can use its own IP address other than the server's shared one and you are able to make this change from the Hosted Domains section, where you'll also view all IPs that your sites can use as well as if a dedicated IP is free or you're already using it. If you wish to have an IP for an SSL certificate, we have an SSL order tool through which you will be able to select everything to be installed automatically. With this feature, our system will modify the IP address of the desired domain/subdomain to a dedicated one and it'll install the certificate within a matter of minutes, so you will not need to do anything on your end except for authorizing your SSL order via e-mail.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Hosting
We give a complimentary dedicated IP address with each Linux virtual private servers that we provide and when you select a website hosting Control Panel on your VPS order page, you'll get a second dedicated IP for free. Your addresses can be used for any type of objective - a website provided you would like to install an SSL certificate or a server IP when you wish to manage some app such as VOIP software, for instance. You can also use the IPs to make child name servers for one or multiple domains that you have and after that you can set them as NS records for any other domain that you'd like to point to your Virtual Server. Any time you need more dedicated IPs, it will take you only a couple of clicks in your billing Control Panel to get them and they will be allotted to your server in a matter of minutes.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Web Hosting
If you obtain a dedicated server, you probably plan to run a web app or host numerous sites, so we provide 3 dedicated IPs free of charge with each plan and you will 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 through another company. The last mentioned option is really useful in case you use your dedicated server to host customers' sites due to the fact that it'll give you credibility and anonymity as a web hosting supplier. The server billing Control Panel will allow you to add additional IPs as well - the upgrade is in increments of three and takes only a couple of clicks in the Upgrades section, so you can go ahead and take advantage of the new dedicated IPs several minutes after you send your order.
