All devices on the Internet are recognized by a special number called an IP address, such as 123.123.123.123. If you have a site, the domain name that you type in order to load it is to save you time, but the server where your website files are still has an IP. As there are many more websites and devices than there're IP addresses, all shared hosting servers have a number of sites under the same IP, whereas when you use a dedicated server you'll be given a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you will be able to get a dedicated IP for your sites and host them on a shared server. An advantage would be that you may get improved search engine rankings as a dedicated IP usually means a quicker loading site. Furthermore, you need such an IP when you would like to get an SSL certificate for your website and protect the data that visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Website Hosting

We provide dedicated IP addresses with all our website hosting plans whatever the data center location and you will be able to get one or several IPs from your Hepsia Control Panel. A new section will appear as part of your account and you're able to request, delete or view your IPs with just a few clicks. You're able to select how many websites or subdomains will use a given IP as you can assign one with a few clicks to every hostname. For instance, www.domain.com can be the main site, which uses a server's shared IP, whereas shop.domain.com can be the subdomain where you offer goods or services on the web and it can have a dedicated IP address in addition to an SSL certificate. You can switch the IP that 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 may also set a few of your websites to use the same dedicated IP provided that there's no SSL activated for it.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers

In case you have a semi-dedicated server account, adding your new dedicated IP 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 previously, you won't have any kind of difficulties to order and assign a dedicated IP address. Any domain or subdomain inside the account can use its own IP as an alternative to the server's shared one and you'll be able to make this change inside the Hosted Domains section, where you will also find all IPs that your websites can use as well as if a dedicated IP is accessible or you're already using it. In case that you want an IP for an SSL certificate, we have an SSL order tool through which you can select everything to be set up automatically. When you use this feature, our system will change the IP address of the desired domain/subdomain to a dedicated one and it will set up the certificate in a matter of minutes, so you shall not have to do anything on your end apart from authorizing your SSL order via e-mail.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

Since all of our dedicated web hosting plans come with three dedicated IP addresses as part of the plans as standard, we shall give you a head start if you would like to run any software which requires such an IP. We supply them for free and you'll be able to use them for as long as you use your server for anything you'd like - child name servers for any domain that you host, an SSL certificate for any website on the server, a software server (games, VOIP), and so on. Through the Upgrades menu in the billing Control Panel that you will get to control renewals, service upgrades and domain registrations, you can also acquire more dedicated IP addresses in groups of three at any moment. They will be assigned to your server within a few minutes, so that you can start using them for your sites and web-based applications right away.
