All devices on the Web are identified by a specific number called an IP address, for instance 123.123.123.123. If you have a site, the domain name that you type to be able to load it is for your convenience, but the server where the website files are still has an IP. As there are far more sites and devices than there are IPs, all the shared hosting servers have a number of websites under an identical IP, whereas with a dedicated server you'll have a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you are able to obtain a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. One advantage would be that you'll enjoy superior search engine rankings as a dedicated IP often means a faster loading site. Last but not least, you need such an IP if you want to acquire an SSL certificate for your site and protect the data that your visitors submit on it.
Dedicated IP Address in Shared Web Hosting
We offer dedicated IP addresses with all of our Linux shared web hosting packages regardless of the data center location and you'll be able to purchase one or several IPs from your Hepsia Control Panel. A fresh section will appear inside your account and you're able to request, view or delete your IPs with a few clicks. You will be able to choose how many sites or subdomains will use a particular IP since you can assign one with a couple of clicks to every hostname. For example, www.domain.com can be your main website, which uses a server's shared IP, and shop.domain.com can be the subdomain where you offer goods or services on the net and it can have a dedicated IP in addition to an SSL certificate. You can change the IP which a site uses from 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 sites to use a single dedicated IP given that there's no SSL activated for it.
Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Hosting
If you obtain a semi-dedicated server account from us, you will get the option to get as many dedicated IPs as you'd like depending on the needs you have. It will take just a couple of clicks in the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel to obtain a new IP and a few more to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The whole process is very simple and your website will start loading from the new IP address in no time. Hepsia will allow you to see all the IP addresses which you're able to use, both shared and dedicated, and which of the latter are available or taken. If you want to use an SSL certificate on any of your websites and you need a dedicated IP for it, you can take advantage of our SSL order wizard, which will assign a new IP and set up the certificate once you submit your order, so you won't need to customize anything in your semi-dedicated website hosting account by yourself.
Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers Hosting
Considering that you can run pretty much anything on a dedicated server, all our plans feature 3 dedicated IP addresses included as standard. If you want to launch some server software or to set up an SSL certificate for a site that you host on the machine, you can use the IPs that we supply absolutely free. In addition, you can register child name servers with one or two of the IPs for any domain name that you've registered with our company or anywhere else and employ them to direct other domains to the dedicated server. When you manage a hosting company, for example, this option will contribute to your credibility as a standalone provider. If you need more IP addresses than the three the packages include, you'll be able to buy additional ones in increments of 3 either throughout the registration process or from your billing Control Panel at any time.
