All devices on the Internet are identified by a unique number called an IP address, such as 123.123.123.123. When you have a website, the domain that you enter to open it is to save you time, but the server where the site files are still has an IP. Because there're many more sites and devices than there're IP addresses, all shared hosting servers have a number of websites under the very same IP, while when you use a dedicated server you will have a dedicated IP too. Even in the first case though, you can obtain a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. An advantage would be that you'll have superior search engine positions since a dedicated IP often means a quicker loading website. Last but not least, you need such an IP if you intend to acquire an SSL certificate for your site and protect the info that visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Hosting
We offer dedicated IP addresses with all of our hosting whatever the data center location and you can purchase one or several IPs via your Hepsia Control Panel. An additional section will appear inside your account and you will be able to request, delete or view your IPs with just a few clicks. You'll be able to select how many websites or subdomains will use a certain IP since you can assign one with a couple of clicks to every hostname. To give an example, www.domain.com can be your main website, which uses a server's shared IP, whereas shop.domain.com can be a subdomain where you offer goods or services on the web and it could have a dedicated IP address in addition to an SSL certificate. You can change the IP which a site uses through the Hosted Domains section where you can also keep track which IPs are in use and which ones are available. You can also set a few of your websites to use the same dedicated IP provided that there's no SSL installed for it.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
If you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding your new dedicated IP takes only a couple of clicks. Our Hepsia Control Panel is very simple and intuitive to use, so even when you have not had a hosting account previously, you won't have any kind of difficulties to obtain and assign a dedicated IP address. Every domain or subdomain in the account can use its own IP instead of the server's shared one and you're able to make this change inside the Hosted Domains section, where you will also view all IPs that your websites can use as well as if a dedicated IP is accessible or you are already using it. In case that you need an IP for an SSL certificate, we have an SSL order tool through which you're able to select everything to be installed automatically. When you use this particular feature, our system will change the IP of the desired domain/subdomain to a dedicated one and it'll install the certificate within minutes, so you won't need to do anything on your end apart from approving your SSL order through e-mail.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
Due to the fact that you can run more or less anything on a dedicated server, all our packages come with 3 dedicated IP addresses included by default. In case you wish to launch some server software or to activate an SSL certificate for a site that you host on the machine, you will be able to use the IPs that we supply without charge. You may also register child name servers with one or two of the IP addresses for any website name that you've registered through us or somewhere else then use them to point other domains to the dedicated server. If you own a web hosting company, for instance, this option will contribute to your credibility as a standalone service provider. When you need more IP addresses than the three our plans provide you with, you can get extra ones in increments of 3 either throughout the signup process or through your billing Control Panel at any time.
