Dedicated IP Address
Learn what a dedicated IP address is actually and precisely why your web site will likely need one eventually.
When you host a website on a server, it uses the server's shared IP - a unique number that's used to detect any device connected to the Internet. The domain name that you use for the site is for easy access and convenience of the site visitors, but on a lower level, their Internet browser connects to the IP address of the server. As there're far more websites than IP addresses, shared web hosting servers use a single IP for many different websites even in case they belong to several users. Even though this doesn't affect the site performance directly, using a dedicated IP may slightly increase the loading speed of a given website, providing it better rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is required for the setup of an SSL certificate too, so when you want to secure the payment or login data that your site visitors submit, you'll need an IP alongside the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Website Hosting
We offer dedicated IP addresses with all our
shared website hosting irrespective of the data center location and you can buy one or several IPs from your Hepsia Control Panel. An extra section will show up in your account and you're able to request, delete or view your IPs with a few clicks. You'll be able to choose how many sites or subdomains will use a given IP since you can assign one with a couple of clicks to any hostname. To give an example, www.domain.com can be your main site, which uses a server's shared IP, while shop.domain.com can be a subdomain where you offer services or goods on the web and it might have a dedicated IP combined with an SSL certificate. You can switch the IP which a domain uses via the Hosted Domains section where you can also keep track which IPs are in use and which ones are available. You may also set a couple of of your sites to use a single dedicated IP given that there is no SSL installed for it.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
The Hepsia Control Panel, that is provided with all of our
semi-dedicated server plans, will make it very simple to buy a dedicated IP and use it for each site that you have in the account regardless if it's under a domain or a subdomain. With just a few clicks you can order the IP and when our system assigns it, you'll be able to set it for one or several sites through the Hosted Domains section of the Control Panel. In the same location you can also find what IP is used by each and every domain or subdomain, a list of the dedicated IPs as well as if and what site they are assigned to? If the IP you will need is for an SSL certificate, you can take advantage of our useful SSL wizard that will make the overall process very simple because it'll request and assign an IP to the preferred domain/subdomain and then install the SSL without any action on your side aside from placing your order.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers
All of our
VPS servers include one dedicated IP as standard and when you order a website hosting Control Panel (cPanel, Hepsia, DirectAdmin) during the registration process, you'll acquire an additional one as well at no extra cost. You are able to use them the way you like - to access web content, to run a web app, to set up 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 your server. The billing Control Panel where you can take care of all the plan renewals, upgrades as well as domain registrations will enable you to order more dedicated IP addresses when 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 immediately.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
As it is possible to run pretty much anything on a
dedicated server, all of our plans come with 3 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 can use the IPs which we provide you with for free. You may also register child name servers with one or two of the IP addresses for any website name that you have registered through our company or elsewhere then employ them to direct other domains to the dedicated server. If you own a web hosting company, for instance, this option will contribute to your credibility as an independent supplier. If you need more IP addresses than the three the plans include, you'll be able to purchase additional ones in increments of three either throughout the signup process or through your billing Control Panel any time.
