All devices on the Internet are recognized by a special number called an IP address, such as 123.123.123.123. When you have a website, the domain name that you enter to open it is for your convenience, but the server where the site files are still has an IP. Since there're a lot more sites and devices than there are IPs, all the shared website hosting servers have a number of sites under the same IP, while using a dedicated server you'll be given a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you can acquire a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. One advantage would be that you may have superior search engine rankings as a dedicated IP generally means a faster loading website. Last but not least, you need such an IP if you want to get an SSL certificate for your website and secure the information that your visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting

With a shared hosting account on our cloud platform, you'll be able to get a dedicated IP address and assign it to any domain or subdomain with several clicks wherever your account is - in the United States, Britain or Australia. This can be done through the Hosted Domains section of our intuitive and user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you may also monitor what IPs are available, what are in use and what sites they are allotted to. When you want to use an SSL certificate to secure the info of your visitors and you obtain it from us, our system will assign a dedicated IP and set up the SSL for you, so you will not need to do anything manually on your end. In the meantime, you can still have a site in a subdomain as an addition to the main one under a shared IP - a discussion board where users can share their opinion about your services, for example.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you obtain a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you'll get the option to acquire as many dedicated IPs as you like depending on the needs you have. It will take a few clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel to obtain your new IP and a couple of more in order to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The entire process is very simple and your site will start loading from your new IP address very quickly. Hepsia will allow you to view all IP addresses which you'll be able to use, both shared and dedicated, and which of the latter are available or taken. In case you want to use an SSL certificate on some of your websites and you need a dedicated IP for it, you may take advantage of our SSL order wizard, which can assign a new IP and set up the certificate the moment you send your order, so you will not need to modify anything in your semi-dedicated website hosting account by yourself.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS

All Linux VPS that we provide include a dedicated IP, so you won't share the IP with another client with an account on the same physical machine. If you choose a hosting Control Panel for the server during the signup process, you'll receive a second dedicated IP as well and you can use it for any content which you host on your VPS - a site, an app, an SSL certificate, a VOIP server, and so on. In case you need more IPs, you can order them as an additional upgrade using your billing Control Panel and they'll be assigned to your server within a matter of minutes. You can control the IPs without any difficulty through your hosting Control Panel and the virtualization admin panel that you'll receive to maintain the virtual machine.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Hosting

All the Linux dedicated hosting that we provide come with 3 dedicated IP addresses as standard and cost-free. You're able to use them for any type of purpose depending on the content that you have on your server - an online game server or a Voice-Over-IP application, an SSL certificate for a website that you host, private name servers for a reseller domain which your customers can use to redirect domain names to their hosting accounts, and much more. You will also be able to get extra dedicated IP addresses through the Upgrades part of your billing Control Panel if you need more than the ones that come with the server. You will be able to obtain the IPs in sets of three and they'll be added to your dedicated server shortly after you send your order, so you can start using them without delays.
