If you host a site on a server, it makes use of the server's shared IP - a special number that's used to distinguish a device connected to the Web. The website name which you use for the site is for easy accessibility and convenience of the website visitors, but on a lower level, their browser connects to the IP of the server. Due to the fact that there are a lot more websites than IPs, shared hosting servers use the same IP for several sites even if they are owned by separate users. While this doesn't affect the website performance directly, using a dedicated IP may slightly boost the loading speed of a certain website, granting it superior positions in search engine results. Such an IP is necessary for the installation of an SSL certificate as well, so when you plan to protect the payment or login data that your site visitors enter, you should have an IP in addition to the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Cloud Hosting

If you use any of our cloud hosting plans, you will be able to add a dedicated IP to your account in no time and assign it to any domain or subdomain with just a few clicks. This is valid whichever data center you have picked for your account during the signup process, thus you're able to take advantage of this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. This way, you can have a dedicated IP for an e-commerce website, for instance, while a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP because you can adjust each and every domain or subdomain separately through the Hosted Domains part of your Hepsia Control Panel. If you need a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you get the SSL through our company, you'll be able to use the auto-configuration tool, which will assign an IP and install the SSL automatically for the website where you would like to use them.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you purchase a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you'll get the option to get as many dedicated IP addresses as you need depending on the needs you have. It will take just a few clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel to acquire your new IP plus a couple of more so as to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The entire process is really easy and your site will start opening from the new IP address very quickly. Hepsia will allow you to view all of the IP addresses which you'll be able to use, both shared & dedicated, and which of the latter are free or taken. In case you want 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, that will assign a new IP and set up the certificate as soon as you upload your order, so you will not need to modify anything in your semi-dedicated web hosting account manually.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers

All of our Linux VPS servers feature one dedicated IP as standard and when you choose a web hosting Control Panel (cPanel, DirectAdmin, Hepsia) throughout the registration process, you'll acquire an additional one as well free of cost. You're able to use them as you decide - to access web content, to run a web application, to set up an SSL certificate, or even to register private name servers for any website which you have and use the latter for any other domain that you'd like to host on the server. The billing Control Panel where you'll be able to take care of all the plan renewals, upgrades and domain registrations will allow you to order additional dedicated IP addresses when you need them for any purpose. Just a couple of minutes later the IPs will be assigned to your Virtual Server and you'll be able to use them straight away.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

All Linux dedicated web hosting plans that we provide include 3 dedicated IP addresses by default and free of charge. You can employ them for any purpose depending on the content that you've got on your server - a game server or a Voice-Over-IP app, an SSL certificate for a website that you host, private name servers for a reseller domain which your customers may use to direct domain names to their hosting accounts, etc. What's more, you can buy extra dedicated IPs from the Upgrades part of your billing Control Panel in case you need more than the ones that come with the plan. You are able to obtain the IPs in groups of three and they will be added to your dedicated server right after you submit your order, which means that you can start using them without any delays.
