All devices on the Internet are identified by a special 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 to save you time, but the server where your site files are still has an IP address. Since there are a lot more websites and devices than there are IPs, all the shared web hosting servers have a number of websites under the same IP, whereas with a dedicated server you will have a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you are able to get a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. An advantage would be that you will enjoy superior search engine rankings since a dedicated IP usually means a faster loading website. What's more, you need such an IP in case you would like to acquire an SSL certificate for your website and shield the info that visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Cloud Hosting

When you use some of our cloud hosting packages, you can add a dedicated IP address to your account in no time and assign it to any domain or subdomain with no more than a few clicks. This is valid no matter which data center you have selected for the account during the registration process, therefore it is possible to use this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. This way, you can have a dedicated IP for an e-commerce website, for instance, while a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP as you can modify each domain or subdomain separately from the Hosted Domains part of your Hepsia Control Panel. When you need a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you obtain the SSL through our company, you are able to use our auto-configuration instrument, which will assign an IP and set up the SSL automatically for the website where you would like to use them.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting

When you get a semi-dedicated server account from us, you'll get the option to get as many dedicated IP addresses as you need depending on your preferences. It will take a couple of clicks inside the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel to purchase a new IP and several more so as to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The entire process is very easy and your website will start loading from your new IP address in minutes. Hepsia will allow you to view all IP addresses that you'll be able to 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 websites and you need a dedicated IP for it, you can take advantage of our SSL order wizard, which can assign a new IP and install the certificate as soon as you upload your order, so you will not have to adjust anything in your semi-dedicated website hosting account manually.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS Web Hosting

If you buy a virtual private server from us, you will receive one dedicated IP address by default and an additional one if you get a website hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You're able to use the IPs for any purpose - a website, some web application such as a VOIP server, even for private name servers that you're able to use to point to your VPS any domain name that you want to host. In addition, you can add more dedicated IP addresses to your VPS account any time you need them. This can be done via the billing Control Panel that you'll acquire in order to take care of renewals, upgrade purchases and domain registrations and it will take no more than a few clicks. Shortly after you submit your order, the additional IP addresses will be available, so you can use them as you see fit.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers Hosting

All the dedicated hosting services that we supply come with three dedicated IP addresses by default and cost-free. You are able to employ them for any kind of purpose depending on the content that you've got on the server - an online game server or a Voice-Over-IP application, an SSL certificate for a site that you host, private name servers for a reseller domain which your clients may use to redirect domain names to their website hosting accounts, etc. You can also buy extra dedicated IP addresses from the Upgrades section of your billing Control Panel if you need more than the ones which come with the plan. You're able to acquire the IPs in sets of three and they'll be added to your dedicated server right after you submit your order, so you can start using them without delays.
