All devices on the Internet are identified by a specific number called an IP address, for instance When you have a site, the domain that you enter in order to load it is for your convenience, but the server where your website files are still has an IP. Since there are a lot more websites and devices than there're IPs, all the shared hosting servers have a number of sites under the very same IP, whereas using a dedicated server you will have a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you can acquire a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. One benefit would be that you may get far better search engine positions as a dedicated IP usually means a quicker loading website. Also, you need such an IP if you plan to acquire an SSL certificate for your website and protect the data that your visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Cloud Hosting
Using a cloud hosting account on our cloud platform, you will be able to buy a dedicated IP and assign it to any domain or subdomain with a couple of clicks regardless of where your account is - in the USA, the United Kingdom or Australia. This can be done from the Hosted Domains section of our intuitive and user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you can also monitor what IPs are available, what are in use and what websites they're allotted to. When you wish to use an SSL certificate to secure the info of your site visitors and you acquire it through us, our system will assign a dedicated IP and set up the SSL for you, so you won't have to do anything manually on your end. Meanwhile, you can still have a site in a subdomain as an addition to the main one under a shared IP - a community forum where users can share opinions about your services, for instance.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding your new dedicated IP takes just a few clicks. Our Hepsia Control Panel is very easy and intuitive to use, so even if you have not had a web hosting account before, you won't have any difficulties to obtain and assign a dedicated IP. Every domain or subdomain inside the account can use its own IP address other than the server's shared one and you're able to make this change from the Hosted Domains section, where you can also find all IPs that your websites can use and 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 instrument through which you'll be able to select everything to be set up automatically. Using this particular feature, our system will modify the IP of the desired domain/subdomain to a dedicated one and it will set up the certificate within minutes, so you will not have to do anything on your end other than authorizing the SSL request via email.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
Because all of our dedicated servers feature 3 dedicated IP addresses included in the plans by default, we shall give you a serious advantage if you would like to run any software which needs this type of an IP. We supply them free of charge and you can use them for as long as you use the server for anything you'd like - child name servers for any domain name which you host, an SSL certificate for any site on your server, a software server (online games, VOIP), etcetera. Using the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you'll obtain to control renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you can also acquire more dedicated IP addresses in groups of three any time. They will be assigned to your server within a few minutes, so that you can start using them for your sites and web-based applications without delay.
