If you host a website on a server, it uses the server's shared IP - a unique number which is used to detect a device connected to the Net. The website name that you use for the site is for quick access and convenience of the visitors, but on a lower level, their browser connects to the IP of the server. Because there're a lot more websites than IP addresses, shared web hosting servers use a single IP for a variety of sites even if they are owned by separate users. Even though this does not affect the site performance directly, using a dedicated IP may slightly boost the loading speed of a website, giving it superior rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is essential for the setup of an SSL certificate as well, so if you would like to secure the payment or login information that your site visitors enter, you should have an IP together with the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Website Hosting

With a website hosting account on our cloud platform, you can acquire a dedicated IP and assign it to any domain or subdomain with just a few clicks wherever your account is - in the United States, Great Britain or Australia. This can be done from the Hosted Domains part of the intuitive and user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel where you can also monitor what IPs are available, what are in use and what sites they're allotted to. In case you want to use an SSL certificate to protect the info of your visitors and you get it through our company, our system can assign a dedicated IP and install the SSL for you, so you won't be required to anything manually on your end. In the meantime, you may still have a website in a subdomain as an add-on to the main one under a shared IP address - a message board where users can share thoughts and opinions about your services, for instance.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers

With just a couple of clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel, you can add one or several dedicated IP addresses to your semi-dedicated server and assign them to your sites. The Hosted Domains section of Hepsia will allow you to see the available IPs and to check those which are in use in no time. If you want to obtain a new IP for an SSL certificate, you'll be able to use the auto-configuration function, that's available in our SSL order wizard. If you activate this option, you will not have to do anything after you post your order as our system will request a dedicated IP, assign it to the domain or subdomain involved, then install the SSL certificate - all this automatically and without the need of any action on your end. That way, you can protect the data that visitors post on your site even when you lack previous experience with this type of matters.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

Since all of our dedicated servers come with three dedicated IP addresses as part of the plans by default, we'll give you a head start in case you wish to run any application which needs this kind of an IP. We supply them cost-free and you will be able to use them for as long as you use your server for anything you would like - child name servers for any domain which you host, an SSL certificate for any website on the server, a software server (online games, VOIP), etc. From the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you'll get to organize renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you will also be able to buy more dedicated IPs in groups of three at any time. They'll be assigned to your server in a few minutes, so you can start using them for your websites and web-based apps without delay.
