All devices on the Internet are recognized by a special number called an IP address, for instance 123.123.123.123. In case you have a website, the domain name that you type in order to load it is to save you time, however the server where the site files are still has an IP address. Due to the fact that there're a lot more websites and devices than there're IPs, all of the shared website hosting servers have a number of websites under the very same IP, while with a dedicated server you will have a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you will be able to obtain a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. One benefit would be that you may get better search engine positions because a dedicated IP often means a faster loading site. In addition, you need such an IP in case you would like to purchase an SSL certificate for your website and protect the info that your visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Shared Website Hosting
We provide you with dedicated IP addresses with all our shared website hosting plans irrespective of the data center location and you'll be able to obtain one or several IPs via your Hepsia Control Panel. An extra section will show up as part of your account and you'll be able to request, delete or view your IPs with just a couple of clicks. You'll be able to choose how many sites or subdomains will use a given IP as you can assign one with a couple of clicks to every hostname. For example, www.domain.com can be the main website, that uses a server's shared IP, whereas shop.domain.com can be the subdomain where you offer goods or services on the web and it can have a dedicated IP together with an SSL certificate. You can change the IP which a domain uses through the Hosted Domains section where you can also keep track which IPs are in use and which ones are available. You may also set some of your websites to use a single dedicated IP provided that there's no SSL activated for it.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
With just a few clicks in your Hepsia Control Panel, you will be able to add one or several dedicated IP addresses to your semi-dedicated plan and assign them to your websites. The Hosted Domains section of Hepsia will allow you to see the available IP addresses and to check those that are in use in no time. In case you would like to obtain a new IP for an SSL certificate, you're able to use the auto-configuration function, which is available in our SSL order wizard. If you enable this feature, you won't have to do anything after you submit your order as our system will request a dedicated IP address, assign it to the domain or subdomain in question, then set up the SSL certificate - all this automatically and without the need of any action on your end. This way, you are able to shield the details that visitors submit on your site even if you do not have any previous experience with this type of matters.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers
Our VPS hosting plans feature one dedicated IP by default and if you pick a web hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, DirectAdmin, cPanel) throughout the registration process, you will obtain an additional one too absolutely free. You're able to use them as you see fit - to access website 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 website that you would like to host on the server. The billing Control Panel where you are able to manage all the plan renewals, upgrades and domain name registrations will enable you to order extra dedicated IPs in case you need them for any purpose. A couple of minutes later the IPs will be assigned to your Virtual Server and you can use them right away.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
Since our dedicated web hosting plans offer three dedicated IP addresses provided in the plans by default, we will give you a head start in case you would like to run any software that requires this kind of an IP. We supply them free of charge and you will be able to use them for as long as you use the server for anything you would like - child name servers for any domain that you host, an SSL certificate for any website on the server, a software server (online games, VOIP), etc. Using the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you will receive to manage renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you'll also be able to acquire more dedicated IP addresses in sets of three at any moment. They'll be assigned to your server in no time, so you can start using them for your sites and web-based applications without delay.
