All devices on the World Wide Web are recognized by a unique number called an IP address, for example 123.123.123.123. If you have a website, the domain that you enter to be able to load it is for your convenience, but the server where your site files are still has an IP address. Considering that there are a lot more sites and devices than there are IP addresses, all the shared web hosting servers have a number of sites under the very same IP, while using a dedicated server you will have a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you can get a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. One advantage would be that you will get better search engine positions as a dedicated IP generally means a faster loading site. What's more, you need such an IP when you would like to buy an SSL certificate for your site and protect the data that your visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Shared Website Hosting
With a shared website hosting account on our cloud platform, you can obtain a dedicated IP address and assign it to any domain or subdomain with a few clicks no matter where your account is - in the US, Britain or Australia. This can be done from the Hosted Domains part of the intuitive and user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you may also monitor what IPs are available, what are in use and what sites they're assigned to. If you would like to use an SSL certificate so as to protect the info of your website visitors and you obtain it through our company, our system will assign a dedicated IP and set up the SSL for you, so you won't have to do anything manually on your end. In the meantime, you may still have a website in a subdomain as an addition to the main one under a shared IP - a message board where users can share their opinion about your services, for instance.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you purchase a semi-dedicated server account through us, you will have the opportunity to acquire as many dedicated IP addresses as you need depending on your preferences. It takes just a few clicks in the Hepsia hosting Control Panel to get your new IP and a couple of more in order to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The whole process is very easy and your website will start opening from the new IP address in no time. Hepsia will allow you to see all of the IPs which you're able to use, both shared and dedicated, and which of the latter are free or taken. Provided you want to use an SSL certificate on some of your sites and you need a dedicated IP for it, you can take full advantage of our SSL order wizard, that will assign a new IP and install the certificate once you send your order, so you don't need to modify anything in your semi-dedicated hosting account by yourself.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Web Hosting
If you obtain a virtual private server from our company, you'll be given a dedicated IP address as standard and an extra one when you obtain a web hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You will be able to use the IPs for any sort of purpose - an Internet site, some web application such as a VOIP server, even for private name servers that you'll be able to use to point to your VPS any domain that you wish to host. Also, you can add more dedicated IPs to your VPS account any time you need them. This can be done from the billing Control Panel that you will receive in order to manage renewals, upgrade purchases and domain registrations and it will take just a couple of clicks. Soon after you upload your order, the added IP addresses will be accessible, so you're able to use them the way you like.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers Hosting
Since all of our Linux dedicated servers hosting feature three dedicated IP addresses included in the plans by default, we will give you a head start in case you'd like to run any app which requires such an IP. We supply them free of cost and you'll be able to use them for as long as you use your server for anything you would like - child name servers for any domain name that you host, an SSL certificate for any site on the server, a software server (online games, VOIP), etc. Through the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you'll obtain to organize renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you can also acquire more dedicated IP addresses in groups of three any time. They'll be assigned to your server in minutes, so you can start using them for your sites and web-based apps without delay.
