If you host a site on a server, it works by using the server's shared IP - a unique number which is used to identify any device connected to the World Wide Web. The website name that you use for the website is for quick access and convenience of the website visitors, but on a more basic level, their web browser connects to the IP address of the server. Since there are a lot more websites than IP addresses, shared web hosting servers use a single IP for several sites even if they belong to different users. Even though this doesn't affect your website performance directly, having a dedicated IP may slightly increase the loading speed of a certain website, providing it superior positions in search engine results. Such an IP is necessary for the setup of an SSL certificate too, so when you would like to secure the payment or login info that your website visitors type in, you should have an IP together with the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Website Hosting

In case you host your websites on our innovative cloud platform and you have a shared website hosting plan, you're able to add a dedicated IP to your account at any time and assign it to any domain or subdomain with just a few clicks. The aforementioned option is accessible in all of the data centers where we supply services - Chicago (US), Coventry (UK) and Sydney (AU), so whatever your choice during the registration process, you're able to obtain a dedicated IP address for your sites. You can add / remove an IPas well as to keep track of the free and used ones at any time. In case any of the IPs that you buy will be used for an SSL certificate, you can enable the automatic configuration attribute in our SSL order wizard and our system will request and assign the IP before it sets up the certificate automatically. Our versatile platform will allow you to use a dedicated IP address for various sites as well if it's not in use by an SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding a new dedicated IP takes only a couple of clicks. Our Hepsia Control Panel is very easy and intuitive to use, so even when you have not had a web hosting account previously, you won't experience any kind of difficulties to obtain and assign a dedicated IP. Every domain or subdomain in the account can use its own IP in place of the server's shared one and you're able to make this change in the Hosted Domains section, where you'll also view all IPs that your sites can use as well as if a dedicated IP is accessible or you're already using it. If you'd like to have an IP for an SSL certificate, we have an SSL order tool through which you will be able to select everything to be installed automatically. When you use this feature, our system will modify the IP of the desired domain/subdomain to a dedicated one and it'll set up the certificate in a couple of minutes, so you will not have to do anything on your end except for authorizing the SSL order via electronic mail.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers

All VPS servers that we supply include a dedicated IP address, so you won't share your IP with some other client with some other account on the very same server. In case you select a hosting Control Panel for the server during the signup process, you will receive an additional dedicated IP as well and you can use it for any content that you host on your VPS - a website, an app, an SSL certificate, a VOIP server, etcetera. In case you need more IP addresses, you're able to order them as a further upgrade using your billing Control Panel and they'll be assigned to your server within a matter of minutes. You will be able to control the IPs without any difficulty via your web hosting Control Panel and the virtualization admin panel which you'll get to take care of the virtual machine.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

All dedicated servers that we offer come with three dedicated IP addresses as standard and free of charge. You'll be able to employ them for any kind of purpose according to the content that you've got on the server - a game server or a Voice-Over-IP application, an SSL certificate for a site that you host, private name servers for a reseller domain that your clients can use to point domain names to their hosting accounts, etc. What's more, you can get more dedicated IP addresses through the Upgrades section of your billing Control Panel if you need more than the ones that come with the server. You're able to obtain the IPs in sets of three and they'll be added to your dedicated server shortly after you submit your order, so that you can use them without delays.
