When you host a site on a server, it employs the server's shared IP address - a special number that's used to detect a device connected to the Internet. The domain name which you use for the site is for easy access and convenience of the site visitors, but on a more basic level, their web browser connects to the IP of the server. Because there are many more websites than IP addresses, shared web hosting servers use the very same IP for many different sites even if they are owned by several users. Even though this does not affect the site performance directly, having a dedicated IP may slightly increase the loading speed of a certain website, giving it higher positions in search engine results. Such an IP is required for the setup of an SSL certificate as well, so when you wish to secure the payment or login details that your website visitors submit, you should have an IP alongside the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting

If you use some of our shared hosting plans, you'll be able to add a dedicated IP to your account in no time and assign it to any domain or subdomain with no more than a couple of clicks. This is valid no matter which data center you have picked for the account throughout the sign-up process, thus it's possible to take full advantage of this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. This way, you can have a dedicated IP for an electronic commerce website, for example, whereas a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP because you can adjust each domain or subdomain individually from the Hosted Domains section of your Hepsia Control Panel. When you need a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you obtain the SSL from our company, you're able to use our auto-configuration tool, that will assign an IP and set up the SSL automatically for the website where you wish to use them.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting

If you obtain a semi-dedicated server account through us, you will have the option to obtain as many dedicated IPs as you like depending on the needs you have. It will take just a couple of clicks in the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel to purchase your new IP and a few more in order to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The process is very simple and your website will start loading from your new IP address in a few minutes. Hepsia will enable you to see all of the IPs that you're able to use, both shared and dedicated, and which of the latter are free or taken. If you want to use an SSL certificate on some of your sites and you want a dedicated IP for it, you can take advantage of our SSL order wizard, that will assign a new IP and install the certificate as soon as you send your order, so you don't have to customize anything in your semi-dedicated web hosting account manually.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS

We give a zero cost dedicated IP address with each Linux VPS packages that we provide and when you pick a web hosting Control Panel on the VPS order page, you'll receive a second dedicated IP without charge. The addresses can be employed for virtually any objective - a website provided you need to set up an SSL certificate or a server IP if you want to run some app such as VOIP software, for instance. You can also use the IP addresses to make child name servers for one or more domain names that you have then you can set them as NS records for any other domain that you'd like to point to your Virtual Server. In case you need additional dedicated IP addresses, it will take you only a few clicks in your billing Control Panel to get them and they will be allocated to your server in a matter of minutes.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Hosting

As it's possible to run almost anything on a dedicated server, all of our plans feature three dedicated IP addresses included by default. If you wish to launch some server software or to install an SSL certificate for a website that you host on the machine, you are able to use the IPs that we provide without charge. You can also register child name servers with one or two of the IP addresses for any website name that you've registered through us or elsewhere and then employ them to direct other domains to the dedicated server. When you have a website hosting company, for example, the aforementioned option will contribute to your credibility as a standalone supplier. If you need more IPs than the three the packages provide you with, you can get extra ones in increments of three either throughout the registration process or from your billing Control Panel any time.
