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 for your convenience, but the server where your website files are still has an IP address. Considering that there're many more websites and devices than there're IP addresses, all shared website hosting servers have a number of websites under the same IP, whereas with a dedicated server you'll be given a dedicated IP too. Even in the first case though, you're able to obtain a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. One benefit would be that you may get far better search engine rankings because a dedicated IP often means a faster loading site. Furthermore, you need such an IP in case you want to acquire an SSL certificate for your site and shield the info that visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Website Hosting

When you use some of our shared website hosting plans, you can add a dedicated IP address to your account in no time and assign it to any domain or subdomain with just a few clicks. This is valid no matter which data center you've chosen for your account during the registration process, therefore you are able to take full advantage of this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. In this way, you can have a dedicated IP for an electronic commerce site, for instance, whereas a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP since you can adjust each and every domain or subdomain individually through the Hosted Domains part of your Hepsia Control Panel. When you need a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you get the SSL from our company, you can use the auto-configuration tool, which will assign an IP and set up the SSL automatically for the website where you would like to use them.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you obtain a semi-dedicated server account through us, you will get the option to get as many dedicated IPs as you would like depending on your needs. It takes just a couple of clicks in the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel to order your new IP plus several more in order to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The whole process is very simple and your website will start loading from your new IP address within minutes. Hepsia will enable you to view all of the IPs which you are able to use, both shared & dedicated, and which of the latter are free or taken. Provided you want to use an SSL certificate on any of your sites 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 as soon as you send your order, so you do not need to change anything in your semi-dedicated web hosting account by yourself.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers

Our VPS plans include one dedicated IP address by default and if you get a website hosting Control Panel (DirectAdmin, cPanel, Hepsia) during the signup process, you will obtain an extra one too completely free. You can use them as you see fit - to access site content, to manage a web app, to install an SSL certificate, or even to register private name servers for any domain which you have and use the latter for any other website that you'd like to host on your server. The billing Control Panel where you will be able to control all plan renewals, upgrades as well as domain registrations will allow you to order more dedicated IPs in case you need them for any purpose. A few minutes later the IPs will be assigned to your Virtual Server and you will be able to use them without delay.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

If you acquire a dedicated server, you probably plan to run some web application or host a lot of sites, so we supply three dedicated IPs absolutely free with each package and you're able to use them as you see fit - a software server, an SSL certificate, even child name servers for a domain name that you've registered here or through another company. The aforementioned option is very useful if you use your dedicated server to host users' sites considering that it'll give you authority and anonymity as a website hosting supplier. The server billing Control Panel will enable you to add extra IPs as well - the upgrade is in increments of three and takes just a couple of clicks in the Upgrades section, therefore you're able to go ahead and take advantage of the new dedicated IPs a few minutes after you submit your order.
