All devices on the Web are identified by a specific number called an IP address, for instance 123.123.123.123. In case you have a website, the domain name that you type to load it is for your convenience, but the server where the website files are still has an IP. Since there're many more websites and devices than there're IPs, all the shared web hosting servers have a number of sites under an identical IP, while when you use a dedicated server you will have a dedicated IP as well. Even in the first case though, you're able to obtain a dedicated IP for your websites and host them on a shared server. One advantage would be that you will have improved search engine positions as a dedicated IP usually means a quicker loading website. What's more, you need such an IP when you would like to obtain an SSL certificate for your site and shield the info that your visitors submit on it.

Dedicated IP Address in Shared Web Hosting

When you use any of our shared web hosting packages, you'll be able to add a dedicated IP to your account without difficulty and assign it to a domain or subdomain with just a couple of clicks. This is valid no matter which data center you've picked for the account throughout the registration process, thus you'll be able to take full advantage of this feature in our US, UK and AU facilities. In this way, you can have a dedicated IP for an e-commerce site, for instance, while a forum attached to it can use the server's shared IP as you can adjust each domain or subdomain separately from the Hosted Domains section of your Hepsia Control Panel. When you need a dedicated IP for an SSL certificate and you acquire the SSL through our company, you are able to use our auto-configuration instrument, that will assign an IP and set up the SSL automatically for the site where you would like to use them.

Dedicated IP Address in Semi-dedicated Servers

If you obtain a semi-dedicated server account through our company, you have the opportunity to get as many dedicated IP addresses as you need depending on your preferences. It will take a couple of clicks inside the Hepsia hosting Control Panel to obtain your new IP plus several more to assign it to a domain or a subdomain. The entire process is very simple and your website will start opening from your new IP address in a few minutes. Hepsia will allow you to see all of the IP addresses that you'll be able to use, both shared and dedicated, and which of the latter are available or taken. In case you would like to use an SSL certificate on any of your sites and you want a dedicated IP for it, you may take advantage of our SSL order wizard, that can assign a new IP and set up the certificate the moment you submit your order, so you don't have to customize anything in your semi-dedicated hosting account by yourself.

Dedicated IP Address in VPS Servers

If you buy a VPS server from us, you will receive a dedicated IP address by default and a second one in case you get a hosting Control Panel (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin). You are able to use the IP addresses for any purpose - a website, some web application such as a VOIP server, even for private name servers that you're able to use to point to your VPS any domain which you would like to host. You can also add more dedicated IP addresses to the VPS account if you need them. This can be done through the billing Control Panel that you will get in order to take care of renewals, upgrades and domain registrations and it will take just a couple of clicks. Shortly after you upload your order, the extra IP addresses will be available, so you are able to use them the way you like.

Dedicated IP Address in Dedicated Servers

All dedicated web hosting plans that we provide include three dedicated IP addresses by default and cost-free. You will be able to use them for any purpose depending on the content that you have on the server - a game server or a Voice-Over-IP application, an SSL certificate for a site that you host, private name servers for a reseller domain that your customers may use to direct domains to their hosting accounts, etc. You will also be able to order more dedicated IP addresses via the Upgrades section of your billing Control Panel in case you need more than the ones that come with your server. You can get the IPs in sets of three and they will be added to your dedicated server right after you send your order, which means that you can use them without any delays.
