All devices on the Web are identified by a special number called an IP address, for example 123.123.123.123. In case you have a site, the domain name that you type to be able to access it is for your convenience, but the server where your site files are still has an IP address. Due to the fact that there're many more websites and devices than there're IP addresses, all of the shared website hosting servers have a number of sites under an identical IP, whereas using a dedicated server you'll get a dedicated IP too. Even in the first case though, you are able to acquire a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. One advantage would be that you'll get superior search engine positions as a dedicated IP often means a quicker loading website. Also, you need such an IP if you intend to purchase an SSL certificate for your website and secure the info that visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Shared Web Hosting
We provide you with dedicated IP addresses with all of our Linux shared web hosting plans regardless of the data center location and you can obtain one or several IPs through your Hepsia Control Panel. An extra section will show up as part of your account and you are able to request, delete or view your IPs with just a couple of clicks. You can choose how many domains 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, while shop.domain.com can be your subdomain where you offer goods or services online and it could have a dedicated IP address combined with an SSL certificate. You can change the IP which a website uses through 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 a single dedicated IP as long as there is no SSL installed for it.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
When you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding a new dedicated IP takes no more than a few clicks. Our Hepsia Control Panel is very simple and intuitive to use, so even if you haven't had a website hosting account previously, you will not encounter any kind of difficulties to acquire and assign a dedicated IP address. Every domain or subdomain within the account can use its own IP rather than the server's shared one and you can make this change inside the Hosted Domains section, where you can also see all IPs that your websites can use as well as if a dedicated IP is available or you are already using it. If you want an IP for an SSL certificate, we have an SSL order tool through which you'll be able to select everything to be set up automatically. With this feature, our system will change the IP address of the desired domain/subdomain to a dedicated one and it'll install your certificate within minutes, so you shall not have to do anything on your end except for authorizing the SSL request through email.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers
If you obtain a VPS server from our company, you'll be given one dedicated IP address automatically and an extra one when you obtain a web hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You will be able to use the IP addresses for any sort of purpose - a site, some web application such as a VOIP server, even for private name servers that you can use to point to your VPS any website that you intend to host. Additionally, you can add more dedicated IP addresses to the VPS account every time you need them. You can do this from the billing Control Panel that you will get in order to control renewals, upgrades and domain registrations and it will take only a few clicks. After you upload your order, the added IP addresses will be at your disposal, so you are able to use them the way you like.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
Due to the fact that it is possible to run almost anything on a dedicated server, all our plans feature 3 dedicated IP addresses included as standard. In case you plan to launch some server software or to install an SSL certificate for a site that you host on the machine, you are able to use the IPs that we provide you with absolutely free. In addition, you can register child name servers with one or two of the IPs for any website name that you have registered with our company or elsewhere and use them to point other domains to the dedicated server. If you have a website hosting company, for example, this option will contribute to your credibility as an independent service provider. In case you need more IPs than the three the plans come with, you're able to get extra ones in increments of 3 either throughout the signup process or through your billing Control Panel any time.
