All devices on the Internet are identified by a specific number called an IP address, such as 123.123.123.123. In case you have a website, the domain name that you enter to open it is to save you time, but the server where the website files are still has an IP address. Because there are many more websites and devices than there're IPs, all the shared web hosting servers have a number of websites under an identical IP, whereas with a dedicated server you will have a dedicated IP too. Even in the first case though, you'll be able to obtain a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. One advantage would be that you'll get better search engine rankings because a dedicated IP generally means a quicker loading website. Furthermore, you need such an IP when you would like to purchase an SSL certificate for your website and secure the information that visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Cloud Web Hosting
In case you host your websites on our state-of-the-art cloud platform and you have a cloud web hosting plan, you can add a dedicated IP to your account at any moment and assign it to any domain or subdomain with just a few clicks. This option is available in all of the data centers where we offer services - Chicago (US), Coventry (UK) and Sydney (AU), so whatever your choice during the registration process, you're able to acquire a dedicated IP address for your sites. You can add / remove an IPas well as to keep track of the free and used ones at any moment. In case any of the IPs that you purchase will be used for an SSL certificate, you may enable the automatic configuration attribute in our SSL order wizard and our system will request and assign the IP before it sets up the certificate automatically. Our versatile platform will enable you to use a dedicated IP address for a number of websites as well if it is not in use by an SSL.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers
In case you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding a new dedicated IP address takes just a few clicks. Our Hepsia Control Panel is very easy and intuitive to use, so even if you have not had a website hosting account before, you will not have any kind of difficulties to get and assign a dedicated IP address. Each domain or subdomain in the account can use its own IP other than the server's shared one and you are able to make this change from the Hosted Domains section, where you can also see all IPs that your websites can use and 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 tool through which you are able to select everything to be installed automatically. With this feature, our system will modify the IP of the desired domain/subdomain to a dedicated one and it will install your certificate in a matter of minutes, so you will not need to do anything on your end apart from authorizing the SSL request via email.
Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers
We give a totally free dedicated IP address with each VPS plans that we offer and when you select a hosting Control Panel on the VPS order page, you'll receive a second dedicated IP for free. The addresses can be employed for virtually any purpose - an Internet site if you want to install an SSL certificate or a server IP in case you plan to manage some app like VOIP software, for instance. You can also use the the dedicated IP addresses to make child name servers for one or multiple websites that you have then you can set them as NS records for any other domain that you would like to redirect to your Virtual Server. Every time you need more dedicated IPs, it will take you only a few clicks from your billing Control Panel to obtain them and they will be allocated to your server within a matter of minutes.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers
If you order a dedicated server, you probably plan to run a web application or host numerous sites, so we provide 3 dedicated IP addresses gratis with every single plan and you will be able to use them as you decide - a software server, an SSL certificate, even child name servers for a domain that you have registered here or via another company. The aforementioned option is very useful when you use your dedicated server to host clients' Internet sites due to the fact that it'll give you authority and anonymity as a hosting company. The server billing Control Panel will enable you to add additional IPs as well - the upgrade is in increments of three and takes only a couple of clicks in the Upgrades section, therefore you will be able to go ahead and use the new dedicated IPs several minutes after you submit your order.
