All devices on the Internet are recognized by a special number called an IP address, for instance 123.123.123.123. When you have a website, the domain name that you enter to load it is to save you time, yet the server where the website files are still has an IP address. Because there are a lot more websites and devices than there are IP addresses, all the shared hosting servers have a number of sites under the very same IP, whereas when you use a dedicated server you'll be given a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you'll be able to acquire a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. An advantage would be that you may get improved search engine rankings since a dedicated IP often means a faster loading site. Furthermore, you need such an IP when you would like to acquire an SSL certificate for your site and shield the data that your visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting

We offer dedicated IPs with all of our shared hosting plans regardless of the data center location and you are able to purchase one or several IPs from 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 a few clicks. You can choose what number of websites or subdomains will use a certain IP since you can assign one with a couple of clicks to any hostname. To give an example, www.domain.com can be the main site, that uses a server's shared IP, whereas shop.domain.com can be your subdomain where you offer goods or services on the web and it can have a dedicated IP combined with an SSL certificate. You can change the IP which 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 may also set a couple of of your websites to use a single dedicated IP provided that there's no SSL installed for it.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you obtain a semi-dedicated server account through us, you have the option to get as many dedicated IP addresses as you need depending on your business needs. It will take a few clicks in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel to acquire your new IP plus a couple of more in order to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The whole process is very easy and your site will start loading from the new IP address in minutes. Hepsia will enable you to view all the IP addresses that you'll be able to use, both shared & dedicated, and which of the latter are free or taken. Provided you'd like to use an SSL certificate on some of your sites and you need a dedicated IP for it, you may take full advantage of our SSL order wizard, which will assign a new IP and install the certificate the moment you upload your order, so you will not need to change anything in your semi-dedicated web hosting account by yourself.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers

If you buy a VPS server from our company, you will be given one dedicated IP address by default and an additional one if you obtain a hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You'll be able to use the IPs for any sort of purpose - an Internet site, some web application such as a VOIP server, even for private name servers that you'll be able to use to point to your VPS any domain that you plan to host. You can even add more dedicated IP addresses to your VPS account when you need them. This can be done through the billing Control Panel that you'll receive so as to control renewals, upgrades and domain registrations and it will take only a couple of clicks. After you submit your order, the extra IP addresses will be accessible, so you'll be able to use them as you see fit.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

All Linux dedicated web hosting plans that we provide come with three dedicated IP addresses as standard and for free. You'll be able to use them for any type of purpose depending on the content that you've got on your server - a game server or a Voice-Over-IP application, an SSL certificate for a site that you host, private name servers for a reseller domain that your customers can use to point domains to their website hosting accounts, and many other things. You can also acquire more dedicated IPs through the Upgrades part of your billing Control Panel if you need more than the ones that come with your plan. You're able to acquire the IPs in groups of three and they shall be added to your dedicated server soon after you send your order, so you can use them with no delays.
