If you host a website on a server, it works by using the server's shared IP address - a unique number which is used to identify any kind of device connected to the World Wide Web. The website name that you use for the site is for quick access and convenience of the website visitors, but on a more basic level, their web browser connects to the IP of the server. As there are a lot more websites than IP addresses, shared web hosting servers use a single IP for multiple websites even if they belong to several users. Even though this does not affect your website performance directly, having a dedicated IP can slightly boost the loading speed of a particular website, granting it superior rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is required for the installation of an SSL certificate as well, so when you would like to secure the payment or login data that your website visitors type in, you'll need an IP along with the SSL.
Dedicated IP Address in Hosting
If you use any of our hosting packages, you can add a dedicated IP address to your account without any difficulty and assign it to a domain or subdomain with just a couple of clicks. This is valid whichever data center you've picked for your account throughout the registration process, thus it's possible to take advantage of 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 separately from the Hosted Domains part of your Hepsia Control Panel. When you need a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you get the SSL through our company, you are able to use our auto-configuration tool, that will assign an IP and set up the SSL automatically for the site where you'd like to use them.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
With only a few clicks inside your Hepsia Control Panel, you'll be able to add one or multiple dedicated IP addresses to your semi-dedicated plan and assign them to your sites. The Hosted Domains section of Hepsia will allow you to view the available IP addresses and to monitor the ones which are in use in no time. If you would like to get a new IP for an SSL certificate, you are able to use the auto-configuration function, that is available in our SSL order wizard. When you enable this feature, you will not have to do anything after you post your order since our system will request a dedicated IP address, assign it to the domain or subdomain in question, and then set up the SSL certificate - all of this automatically and without any action on your end. This way, you will be able to secure the info that visitors upload on your website even when you lack previous experience with such matters.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers
If you buy a VPS server from us, you will be given a dedicated IP address automatically and an extra one when you acquire a website hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel). You're able to use the IP addresses for any purpose - an Internet site, some web application such as a VOIP server, even for private name servers that you are able to use to point to your VPS any domain name that you would like to host. You can also add extra dedicated IP addresses to your VPS account any time you need them. You can do this via the billing Control Panel that you'll obtain in order to take care of renewals, upgrades and domain name registrations and it will take just a few clicks. Shortly after you upload your order, the added IP addresses will be at your disposal, so you're able to use them as you see fit.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
Since our Linux dedicated web hosting plans offer three dedicated IP addresses provided in the plans by default, we'll give you a serious advantage if you want to run any software that requires such an IP. We supply them free of cost and you're able to use them for as long as you use your server for anything you'd like - child name servers for any domain name which you host, an SSL certificate for any website on your server, a software server (online games, VOIP), and so on. Using the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you will receive to organize renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you'll also be able to purchase more dedicated IPs in sets of three whenever you need. They will be assigned to your server within a few minutes, so that you can start using them for your websites and web-based applications without delay.
