All devices on the Internet are identified by a special number called an IP address, such as 123.123.123.123. In case you have a site, the domain name that you enter in order to access it is for your convenience, yet the server where the website files are still has an IP address. Due to the fact that there're far more sites and devices than there are IPs, all of the shared hosting servers have a number of sites under the very same IP, while using a dedicated server you'll have a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you're able to acquire a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. An advantage would be that you will enjoy better search engine positions as a dedicated IP often means a quicker loading website. What is more, you need such an IP when you want to acquire an SSL certificate for your site and protect the info that visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting
Using a shared hosting account on our cloud platform, you'll be able to buy a dedicated IP and assign it to any domain or subdomain with a few clicks regardless of where your account is - in the United States, the United Kingdom or Australia. This can be done from 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 websites they're allotted to. When you would like to use an SSL certificate so as to protect the info of your website visitors and you obtain it from our company, our system can assign a dedicated IP and install the SSL for you, so you will not have to do anything manually on your end. In the meantime, you may 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 Servers
If you purchase a semi-dedicated server account through our company, you'll have the option to get as many dedicated IPs as you'd like depending on your business needs. It will take a few clicks in the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel to order your new IP and a few more in order to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The process is really easy and your site will start opening from the new IP address within minutes. Hepsia will enable you to view all of the IPs which you will be able to use, both shared & dedicated, and which of the latter are available or taken. Provided you'd like to use an SSL certificate on some of your websites and you want a dedicated IP for it, you can take advantage of our SSL order wizard, that can assign a new IP and set up the certificate as soon as you submit your order, so you do not need to customize anything in your semi-dedicated web hosting account by yourself.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers
We give a totally free dedicated IP address with each VPS web hosting plans that we supply and if you pick a website hosting Control Panel on your VPS order page, you will obtain an extra dedicated IP absolutely free. The addresses can be used for any kind of objective - a website if you want to set up an SSL certificate or a server IP if you wish to manage some application such as VOIP software, for example. You can also use the the dedicated IP addresses to create child name servers for one or more domains that you have and then you can set them as NS records for any other domain that you would like to direct to your Virtual Server. If you need more dedicated IP addresses, it will take you only a couple of clicks from your billing Control Panel to acquire them and they will be allocated to your server in a matter of minutes.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
As you are able to run almost anything on a dedicated server, all of our plans come with 3 dedicated IP addresses included by default. In case you would like to launch some server software or to activate an SSL certificate for a site that you host on the machine, you're able to use the IPs that we provide absolutely free. You may also register child name servers with one or two of the IPs for any website name that you have registered with us or elsewhere and then use them to point other domains to the dedicated server. If you manage a web hosting company, for example, this option will contribute to your credibility as a standalone supplier. If you need more IP addresses than the three the plans include, you'll be able to buy additional ones in increments of 3 either throughout the signup process or through your billing Control Panel at any time.
