If you host a site on a server, it uses the server's shared IP - a unique number which is used to identify a device connected to the Web. The website name that you use for the website is for easy accessibility and convenience of the website visitors, but on a more basic level, their browser connects to the IP of the server. As there are a lot more websites than IPs, shared website hosting servers use the very same IP for many different websites even if they are owned by separate users. While this does not affect your site performance directly, using a dedicated IP can slightly improve the loading speed of a certain site, providing it higher positions in search engine results. Such an IP is needed for the installation of an SSL certificate too, so if you want to protect the payment or login information that your site visitors type in, you need an IP along with the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting

We provide dedicated IPs with all of our shared hosting plans irrespective of the data center location and you can get one or several IPs using your Hepsia Control Panel. An extra section will show up inside your account and you are able to request, view or delete your IPs with a couple of clicks. You can choose what number of domains or subdomains will use a given IP as you can assign one with a couple of clicks to every hostname. For example, www.domain.com can be your main site, which uses a server's shared IP, while shop.domain.com can be the subdomain where you offer services or goods online and it can have a dedicated IP in addition to an SSL certificate. You can switch the IP that a domain uses through 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 couple of of your sites to use the same dedicated IP as long as there's no SSL set up for it.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding your new dedicated IP address takes no more than a couple of clicks. Our Hepsia Control Panel is very simple and intuitive to use, so even when you haven't had a hosting account before, you won't have any kind of difficulties to order and assign a dedicated IP. Any domain or subdomain within the account can use its own IP address 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 sites can use and if a dedicated IP is accessible or you're already using it. In case that you wish to have an IP for an SSL certificate, we have an SSL order tool through which you are able to select everything to be set up automatically. When you use this particular feature, our system will change the IP address of the desired domain/subdomain to a dedicated one and it'll set up the certificate within a matter of minutes, so you will not need to do anything on your end except for authorizing the SSL order through e-mail.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

As all of our dedicated web hosting plans feature three dedicated IP addresses included in the plans as standard, we shall give you a head start in case you'd like to run any software that requires this kind of an IP. We supply them at zero cost and you are able to use them for as long as you use the server for anything you'd like - child name servers for any domain name that you host, an SSL certificate for any website on your server, a software server (online games, VOIP), etcetera. From the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you will receive to take care of renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you'll also be able to order more dedicated IPs in groups of three whenever you want. They'll be assigned to your server very quickly, so you can start using them for your sites and web-based apps without delay.
