All devices on the Internet are identified by a unique number called an IP address, such as 123.123.123.123. In case you have a website, the domain name that you type to load it is to save you time, yet the server where the website files are still has an IP address. As there are a lot more websites and devices than there are IPs, all of the shared hosting servers have a number of websites under the same IP, whereas using a dedicated server you'll be given a dedicated IP too. Even in the first case though, you're able to get a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. One advantage would be that you'll get far better search engine rankings as a dedicated IP generally means a quicker loading website. In addition, you need such an IP in case you want to purchase an SSL certificate for your website and shield the data that visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Cloud Website Hosting

If you use any of our cloud website hosting packages, you'll be able to add a dedicated IP to your account in no time and assign it to a domain or subdomain with no more than a few clicks. This is valid no matter which data center you have picked for your account throughout the sign-up process, so you will be able to take 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 example, whereas a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP as you can modify each domain or subdomain independently from the Hosted Domains area of your Hepsia Control Panel. If you'd like a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you get the SSL from our company, you are able to use the auto-configuration instrument, which will assign an IP and install 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 from us, you'll get the opportunity to acquire as many dedicated IP addresses as you need depending on your needs. It will take a couple of clicks in the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel to obtain your new IP and a few more to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The process is very easy and your website will start opening from the new IP address very quickly. Hepsia will enable you to view all of the IP addresses that you can use, both shared & dedicated, and which of the latter are free or taken. In case you would like to use an SSL certificate on any of your sites and you need a dedicated IP for it, you can take full advantage of our SSL order wizard, that can assign a new IP and set up the certificate the moment you send your order, so you do not have to change anything in your semi-dedicated website hosting account manually.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers

Our Linux VPS servers provide you with one dedicated IP as standard and when you obtain a hosting Control Panel (DirectAdmin, cPanel, Hepsia) throughout the registration process, you'll obtain a second one as well free of cost. You can use them the way you like - to access online 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 website that you wish to host on your server. The billing Control Panel where you'll be able to manage all of the plan renewals, upgrades and domain name registrations will allow you to order extra dedicated IP addresses when you need them for any purpose. Just a couple of minutes later the IPs will be assigned to your Virtual Server and you'll be able to use them immediately.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

Because all of our dedicated servers feature 3 dedicated IP addresses included in the plans by default, we'll give you a head start if you want to run any application that requires this type of an IP. We provide them cost-free 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 website on your server, a software server (games, VOIP), etcetera. Through the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you will obtain to control renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you can also obtain more dedicated IPs in sets of three at any moment. They will be assigned to your server within minutes, so you can start using them for your websites and web-based apps right away.
