When you host a website on a server, it uses the server's shared IP address - a special number that is used to distinguish any kind of device connected to the Internet. The website name that you use for the site is for easy access and convenience of the visitors, but on a more basic level, their Internet browser connects to the IP address of the server. Since there are far more websites than IPs, shared website hosting servers use a single IP for a number of websites even in case they belong to separate users. Even though this doesn't affect your site performance directly, having a dedicated IP can slightly boost the loading speed of a particular website, giving it better rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is necessary for the installation of an SSL certificate too, so when you want to secure the payment or login information that your site visitors enter, you'll need an IP alongside the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting

We provide dedicated IP addresses with all of our Linux shared hosting regardless of the data center location and you are able to obtain one or several IPs using your Hepsia Control Panel. An additional section will show up as part of your account and you will be able to request, view or delete your IPs with just a few clicks. You're able to select how many websites or subdomains will use a given IP as you can assign one with a couple of clicks to every hostname. For example, www.domain.com can be your main website, that uses a server's shared IP, and shop.domain.com can be your subdomain where you offer goods or services on the web and it can have a dedicated IP address in addition to an SSL certificate. You can switch the IP which a website uses from 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 couple of of your sites to use the same dedicated IP given that there's no SSL installed for it.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you obtain a semi-dedicated server account through us, you'll have the opportunity to get as many dedicated IPs as you'd like depending on the needs you have. It takes a few clicks in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel to get a new IP and a few more so as to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The process is very simple and your site will start opening from your new IP address within minutes. Hepsia will allow you to see all of the IP addresses which you are able to use, both shared and dedicated, and which of the latter are available or taken. In case you'd like to use an SSL certificate on any of your websites and you want a dedicated IP for it, you may take full advantage of our SSL order wizard, that will assign a new IP and install the certificate once you upload your order, so you won't need to modify anything in your semi-dedicated website hosting account manually.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS

In case you purchase a virtual private server from us, you'll get one dedicated IP address automatically and an additional one if you obtain a web hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You're able to use the IPs for any kind of purpose - a site, some web application such as a VOIP server, even for private name servers that you are able to use to point to your VPS any domain name that you plan to host. You can also add extra dedicated IP addresses to your VPS account when you need them. This can be done from the billing Control Panel that you will acquire in order to control renewals, upgrade purchases and domain name registrations and it takes just a couple of clicks. Shortly after you upload your order, the extra IP addresses will be accessible, so you're able to use them as you see fit.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Hosting

Because you're able to run more or less anything on a dedicated server, all our plans come with 3 dedicated IP addresses included by default. In case you would like to launch some server software or to set up an SSL certificate for a site that you host on the machine, you'll be able to use the IPs that we supply for free. You can also register child name servers with one or two of the IPs for any domain name that you've registered through our company or somewhere else and use them to point other domains to the dedicated server. When you run a website hosting company, for instance, this option will contribute to your credibility as an independent provider. In case you need more IPs than the three the packages include, you can purchase extra ones in increments of 3 either during the registration process or through your billing Control Panel at any time.
