If you host a site on a server, it uses the server's shared IP address - a unique number that is used to distinguish any device connected to the Web. The domain name that you use for the website is for easy access and convenience of the website visitors, but on a more basic level, their Internet browser connects to the IP address of the server. Because there're far more sites than IPs, shared web hosting servers use the very same IP for a variety of sites even if they belong to several users. While this doesn't affect your site performance directly, using a dedicated IP can slightly enhance the loading speed of a website, providing it superior positions in search engine results. Such an IP is required for the installation of an SSL certificate as well, so if you would like to protect the payment or login information that your site visitors enter, you will need an IP along with the SSL.
Dedicated IP Address in Website Hosting
When you use any of our website hosting packages, you'll be able to add a dedicated IP address to your account without any difficulty and assign it to any domain or subdomain with just a few clicks. This is valid whichever data center you've selected for the account during the registration process, which means that it's possible to use this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. This way, you can have a dedicated IP for an electronic commerce website, for example, while a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP as you can modify each and every domain or subdomain individually through the Hosted Domains area of your Hepsia Control Panel. If you'd like a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you acquire the SSL through our company, you will be able to use our auto-configuration tool, which will assign an IP and set up the SSL automatically for the site where you would like to use them.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting
In case you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding a new dedicated IP takes only a few clicks. Our Hepsia Control Panel is very easy and intuitive to use, so even when you haven't had a website hosting account previously, you won't experience any difficulties to obtain and assign a dedicated IP address. Any domain or subdomain inside the account can use its own IP instead of the server's shared one and you'll be able to make this change inside the Hosted Domains section, where you can also view all IPs that your websites can use as well as if a dedicated IP is free or you are already using it. In case that you want an IP for an SSL certificate, we have an SSL order instrument through which you will be able to select everything to be set up automatically. With this particular feature, our system will modify the IP address of the desired domain/subdomain to a dedicated one and it will set up your certificate within minutes, so you will not need to do anything on your end other than approving your SSL request through e-mail.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Hosting
Our Linux VPS hosting include one dedicated IP address by default and when you order a web hosting Control Panel (cPanel, Hepsia) throughout the signup process, you'll get a second one as well for free. You'll be able to use them the way you like - to access online content, to run a web application, to install an SSL certificate, or even to register private name servers for any website which you have and use the latter for any other domain that you need to host on your server. The billing Control Panel where you're able to manage all plan renewals, upgrades as well as domain registrations will allow you to order extra dedicated IP addresses when you need them for any purpose. Just a few minutes later the IPs will be assigned to your Virtual Server and you can use them immediately.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Web Hosting
Due to the fact that you are able to run almost anything on a dedicated server, all our packages come with 3 dedicated IP addresses included by default. In case you plan to launch some server software or to install an SSL certificate for a site that you host on the machine, you will be able to use the IPs which we supply without charge. You can also register child name servers with one or two of the IP addresses for any website name that you have registered with our company or elsewhere then use them to point other domains to the dedicated server. When you own a website hosting company, for example, the aforementioned option will contribute to your credibility as a standalone service provider. If you need more IPs than the three our packages include, you're able to purchase extra ones in increments of three either during the signup process or through your billing Control Panel at any time.
