A dedicated IP address is a unique numeric identifier on the Internet which is given to a device or a website. Shared hosting servers usually have a multitude of sites under the very same IP, while dedicated ones use their own IPs that are not shared with anyone else. Even if you use a common shared account, however, you can purchase a dedicated IP address that will be used just by your sites - one or a few. As this can add up to the speed of thewebsite, it is more likely that the site will get better search engine result positions. Certainly, this is not the sole factor, but it can help you get more visitors and potential customers. The dedicated IP is also needed if you'd like to encrypt the info exchanged between the website and its visitors with an SSL certificate.

Dedicated IP Address in Cloud Hosting

We supply dedicated IP addresses with all of our cloud hosting irrespective of the data center location and you're able to acquire one or several IPs from your Hepsia Control Panel. An additional section will appear in your account and you're able to request, delete or view your IPs with just a couple of clicks. You can choose how many domains or subdomains will use a particular IP as you can assign one with a couple of clicks to any hostname. For instance, www.domain.com can be your main website, which uses a server's shared IP, while shop.domain.com can be a subdomain where you offer services or goods on the internet and it could have a dedicated IP address along with an SSL certificate. You can change the IP that a domain uses via the Hosted Domains section where you can also keep track which IPs are in use and which ones are available. You may also set a few of your websites to use one and the same dedicated IP as long as there's no SSL installed for it.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers

When you purchase a semi-dedicated server account through us, you will have the option to acquire as many dedicated IP addresses as you like depending on your needs. It will take a couple of clicks inside the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel to purchase your 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 opening from your new IP address in no time. Hepsia will allow you to see all of the IPs which you are able to use, both shared & dedicated, and which of the latter are available or taken. If you'd like to use an SSL certificate on some of your sites and you want a dedicated IP for it, you may take advantage of our SSL order wizard, that can assign a new IP and set up the certificate once you upload your order, so you won't need to change anything in your semi-dedicated website hosting account manually.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers

If you obtain a VPS server from us, you will get a dedicated IP address by default and another one if you obtain a website hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You will be able to use the IP addresses for any purpose - a site, some web app such as a VOIP server, even for private name servers that you're able to use to point to your VPS any website that you intend to host. You can even add more dedicated IPs to the VPS account every 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 name registrations and it will take only a few clicks. After you post your order, the additional IP addresses will be accessible, so you will be able to use them as you see fit.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

If you buy a dedicated server, you probably want to run some web app or host a number of websites, so we supply 3 dedicated IP addresses at no charge with every single plan and you're able to use them the way you like - a software server, an SSL certificate, even child name servers for a domain that you've registered here or through another company. The last mentioned option is very useful if you use the dedicated server to host users' websites as it'll give you authority and anonymity as a website hosting service provider. The server billing Control Panel will enable you to add additional IP addresses as well - the upgrade comes in increments of three and takes just a few clicks in the Upgrades section, therefore you'll be able to go ahead and use the new dedicated IP addresses just a couple of minutes after you submit your order.
