If you host a site on a server, it makes use of the server's shared IP address - a unique number which is used to identify a device connected to the World Wide Web. The domain name that you use for the site is for easy accessibility and convenience of the visitors, but on a more basic level, their web browser connects to the IP of the server. Since there are a lot more sites than IPs, shared website hosting servers use the same IP for several websites even in case they belong to several users. Even though this does not affect the site performance directly, using a dedicated IP can slightly improve the loading speed of a particular site, granting it superior positions in search engine results. Such an IP is needed for the setup of an SSL certificate too, so when you want to secure the payment or login information that your website visitors submit, you'll need an IP alongside the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Website Hosting

Using a shared website hosting account on our cloud platform, you're able to purchase a dedicated IP and assign it to any domain or subdomain with just a couple of clicks wherever your account is - in the USA, the UK or Australia. This is done through the Hosted Domains part of our intuitive and user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you can also keep track of what IPs are available, what are in use and what websites they're allotted to. When you want to use an SSL certificate in order to secure the information of your site visitors and you acquire it from our company, our system can assign a dedicated IP and set up the SSL for you, so you will not need to do anything manually on your end. Meanwhile, you may still have a website in a subdomain as an add-on to the main one under a shared IP address - a community forum where users can share their opinion about your services, for instance.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you purchase a semi-dedicated server account from our company, you will have the opportunity to get as many dedicated IPs as you need depending on your needs. It will take just a couple of clicks inside the Hepsia hosting Control Panel to obtain a new IP plus a couple of more so as to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The process is really easy and your website will start opening from your new IP address within minutes. Hepsia will allow you to view all of the IPs that you can use, both shared and dedicated, and which of the latter are free or taken. In case you'd like to use an SSL certificate on some 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 the moment you upload your order, so you don't need to modify anything in your semi-dedicated hosting account by yourself.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers

Our VPS servers come with one dedicated IP address by default and if you choose a web hosting Control Panel (cPanel, Hepsia, DirectAdmin) throughout the registration process, you'll obtain an extra one too free of charge. You're able to use them the way you like - to access online content, to run a web app, to install an SSL certificate, or even to register private name servers for any domain name which you have and use the latter for any other domain that you want to host on the server. The billing Control Panel where you're able to manage all plan renewals, upgrades and domain registrations will allow you to order additional dedicated IP addresses if you need them for any purpose. Just a few minutes later the IPs will be assigned to your Virtual Server and you'll be able to use them instantly.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

As all of our dedicated servers offer three dedicated IP addresses provided in the plans by default, we'll give you a head start if you wish to run any app that requires this type of an IP. We supply them absolutely free and you will be able to use them for as long as you use the server for anything you'd like - child name servers for any domain name that you host, an SSL certificate for any site on the server, a software server (online games, VOIP), etc. Using the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you will get to take care of renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you will also be able to order more dedicated IPs in groups of three at any moment. They'll be assigned to your server very quickly, so you can start using them for your sites and web-based applications without delay.
