If you host a site on a server, it makes use of the server's shared IP - a unique number that's used to distinguish a device connected to the Web. The domain name which you use for the website is for quick access and convenience of the visitors, but on a lower level, their web browser connects to the IP address of the server. Considering that there're far more sites than IPs, shared website hosting servers use a single IP for several websites even in case they belong to separate users. Even though this does not affect your website performance directly, using a dedicated IP may slightly boost the loading speed of a particular site, granting it superior positions in search engine results. Such an IP is needed for the setup of an SSL certificate too, so if you want to protect the payment or login data that your site visitors enter, you should have an IP together with the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting

We supply dedicated IPs with all of our shared plans irrespective of the data center location and you'll be able to acquire one or several IPs through your Hepsia Control Panel. An extra section will show up in your account and you're able to request, view or delete your IPs with just a few clicks. You're able to select how many domains or subdomains will use a particular IP as you can assign one with a few clicks to every hostname. For example, www.domain.com can be your main website, that 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 combined with an SSL certificate. You can change the IP that a domain uses via the Hosted Domains section where you can also keep track which IPs are in use and which ones are available. You can also set a few of your sites to use the same dedicated IP given that there's no SSL set up for it.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding a new dedicated IP address takes no more than a few clicks. Our Hepsia Control Panel is very easy and intuitive to use, so even when you have not had a website hosting account previously, you won't experience any kind of difficulties to order and assign a dedicated IP. Each domain or subdomain in the account can use its own IP in place of the server's shared one and you are able to make this change in the Hosted Domains section, where you'll also find all IPs that your websites can use and if a dedicated IP is accessible or you are already using it. In case that you need an IP for an SSL certificate, we have an SSL order tool through which you're able to select everything to be installed automatically. With this particular feature, our system will modify the IP address of the desired domain/subdomain to a dedicated one and it will set up your certificate within a matter of minutes, so you will not need to do anything on your end except for authorizing the SSL request through electronic mail.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers

In case you acquire a VPS server from us, you'll receive one dedicated IP address as standard and an additional one in case you acquire a web hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel). You are able to use the IP addresses for any kind of purpose - a site, some web app such as a VOIP server, even for private name servers that you'll be able to use to point to your VPS any website which you plan to host. You can even add extra dedicated IPs to your VPS account every time you need them. You can do this through the billing Control Panel that you'll get in order to control renewals, upgrades and domain registrations and it will take only a few clicks. Soon after you post your order, the extra IP addresses will be at your disposal, so you will be able to use them the way you like.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

As all our dedicated web hosting plans offer three dedicated IP addresses provided in the plans as standard, we will give you a serious advantage in case you would like to run any application which needs such an IP. We supply them free of charge and you will be able to use them for as long as you use the server for anything you would like - child name servers for any domain which you host, an SSL certificate for any site on the server, a software server (games, VOIP), etcetera. Using the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you will receive to take care of renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you'll also be able to order more dedicated IPs in groups of three at any time. They will be assigned to your server very quickly, so that you can start using them for your websites and web-based apps without delay.
