When you host a website on a server, it makes use of the server's shared IP address - a special number that's used to detect any kind of device connected to the World Wide Web. The website name that you use for the website is for easy accessibility and convenience of the visitors, but on a more basic level, their Internet browser connects to the IP address of the server. As there're far more sites than IP addresses, shared web hosting servers use a single IP for many different websites even in case they are owned by different users. While this does not affect the website performance directly, having a dedicated IP can slightly increase the loading speed of a site, giving it superior rankings in search engine results. Such an IP is necessary for the installation of an SSL certificate too, so when you plan to protect the payment or login details that your site visitors submit, you will need an IP alongside the SSL.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Hosting

If you use any of our shared hosting packages, you can add a dedicated IP address to your account without any difficulty and assign it to any domain or subdomain with just a couple of clicks. This is valid no matter which data center you've picked for the account during the signup process, so you'll be able to take advantage of this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. In this way, you can have a dedicated IP for an electronic commerce site, for instance, whereas a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP because you can adjust each and every domain or subdomain separately through the Hosted Domains part of your Hepsia Control Panel. If you need a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you get the SSL through our company, you will be able to use the auto-configuration tool, which will assign an IP and set up the SSL automatically for the site where you want to use them.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you get a semi-dedicated server account from us, you'll have the opportunity to get as many dedicated IP addresses as you like depending on the needs you have. It takes just a few clicks in the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel to order your new IP plus a few more to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The process is very easy and your site will start loading from your new IP address in a few minutes. Hepsia will allow you to view all of the IPs which you'll be able to use, both shared and dedicated, and which of the latter are free or taken. In case you'd like to use an SSL certificate on any of your websites and you need a dedicated IP for it, you may take full advantage of our SSL order wizard, that will assign a new IP and set up the certificate once you send your order, so you won't have to customize anything in your semi-dedicated website hosting account manually.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers

All the VPS hosting plans that we provide include a dedicated IP, so you will not share your IP with some other customer with a different account on the very same physical machine. If you select a hosting Control Panel for the server during the signup process, you will receive an additional dedicated IP as well and you'll be able to use it for any content which you host on the VPS - a site, an app, an SSL certificate, a VOIP server, etcetera. In case you would like to have more IP addresses, you are able to order them as an extra upgrade through your billing Control Panel and they'll be assigned to your server very quickly. You'll be able to take care of the IPs without difficulty using your web hosting Control Panel and the virtualization admin panel that you'll get to take care of the virtual machine.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

In case you purchase a dedicated server, you probably want to run a web application or host a number of Internet sites, so we supply three dedicated IP addresses completely free with each package and you are able to use them as you see fit - a software server, an SSL certificate, even child name servers for a domain name that you've registered here or via another company. The aforementioned option is really helpful in case you use your dedicated server to host customers' sites since it will give you authority and anonymity as a hosting company. The server billing Control Panel will allow you to add additional IPs as well - the upgrade is in increments of three and takes just a couple of clicks in the Upgrades section, which means that you are able to go ahead and take advantage of your brand new dedicated IPs just a couple of minutes after you submit your order.
